Roadrunner's Diary by Jeff Steinbrink.Monday
Up early. Ran like hell. No sign of coyote. Ate. Fidgeted. Ran like hell.
Tuesday
Up early. Ran (speed work). Trompe l'oeil master class, 10 to noon...
Both at McSweeney's.

A Series of Unfortunate Events
(A poem comprised of 2004 movie titles)
Before sunset,
Without a paddle
The Prince & me,
Meet the Fockers,
Connie and Carla.
White chicks.
Mean girls.
Twisted.
The whole ten yards.
Unstoppable.
After the sunset,
I, robot,
Walking on water,
Head in the clouds,
Breakin' all the rules,
(The butterfly effect:
13 going on 30,
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.)
Win a date with Tad Hamilton,
The aviator,
Bush's brain.
The day after tomorrow,
Super-size me.
I'll sleep when I'm dead,
Beyond the sea,
As it is in heaven,
Sideways,
Enduring Love,
Surviving Christmas,
Chasing liberty,
Finding Neverland.
