I do believe this is Derby Street Booksellers in Salem, Mass? No store has books piled on top of each other like this. Potentially fatal, though I did find a first edition of Marianne Moore's Collected Poems there for cheap.

A humourous hooligan tattoo, typical in corrective labour camps in the north and the Taiga. The most common name for this tattoo is ‘Misha the accordion player’. The wearer was convicted for hooliganism.

for now that I have written my poem about Nikola Tesla and his beloved pigeon, what else is there for me?

why can't we just skip all that and live in a dome home with some dogs and a baby and make artisan jams and reclaimed wood furniture?

Rita Mae Reese

When we eat wheat    we devour the sun         so in this room filled with permanent flowers let us celebrate not with fasting         but with Red Sammy Butts’ barbecue. Lord, let us sink to our knees under the weight         of Southern appetites. Let us devour meatballs & turnip greens, rum balls & goose eggs         all brined in the salt of resurrection. Let us fill our hollow legs with pink chiffon pie         & Cokes spiked with coffee. Let us devour the landscape–         every cotton field inGeorgia & beyond, every real & imagined plantation         every pig farm & waiting room. May we eat & eat & eat    Lord,         & make no end of this, her hunger.
