  1. “The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You”
    “I’m gonna go
    where my urge leads no more,
    swallowed, waist-deep
    in the gore of the forest.
    A boreal feast.
    Let it finish me, please.”
    “Yours Truly”

  4. One recent morning,
    she was at the Four Seasons in New York
    after a bumpy weekend in which she missed a show in Boston
    because of weather, then had problems with her voice.

  5. Stephen Curry
    a streaky point guard, dropped 54 points on the Knicks
    the Knicks are sticks.
    making 11 of 13 3-pointers
    He's the best shooter

  8. Multiple-personality
    go-go dancer
    bursts of
    behavior,
    frequent blackouts,
    switches to the voice of a young child
    or
    a white Southern racist woman.
    Alternate personalities,
    a psychotherapist
    begins
    to suspect identity disorder
    abruptly,
    it’s hard
    to
    alternate odd personalities,
    some inhabiting personalities
    flashbacks may be
    humorous, but
    Frankie
    STILL LIVES ON!
