i can’t prove this but i can’t prove

you’re a good person though i suspect

you’re a good person.

you who opened the door.

you who tipped your hat.

you who ran into the fire and carried

the fire safely out.

ich moechte der debatte um das schwarz angemalte titelmaedchen der vogue gar nichts hinzufuegen, blosz, dass ich die bemerkung in judith von sternburgs kommentar zum trara, zur ausstrahlung des models - ”Der Arbeitsauftrag an sie lautet offenbar, möglichst töricht und zum Anfassen auszusehen, was ihr trefflich gelingt.” - herrlich finde. zum anfassen aussehen”, ein schoenes begriffchen (jaja, alle konnotationen, so mindful), welches man nun oefter hoeren wird, so hoffe ich.

agh, itS a topic i really like talking about, and now hereS this lady doing proper (i assume) research on it. read this article about toilet writings in the lebanon. i wonder what her findings will be & know too little about lebanese bathroom habits to even pose some worthwhile question. so letS see what sheLL find! perhaps something more edgy than the stuff i read just now, university of johannesburg. well, this harvard/comment (from harvard, obviously) is not bad -
