Magnolia Electric Co.: a note from jason →
magnoliaelectricco: Dear friends and family. It has been a long hospital year. You all have done so much and given so much to further my cause on this planet that I feel compelled to give you a little note. The response towards my medical fund and other support has been better than I could have ever imagined. I… Long live Jason Molina. One of our greatest living songwriters.

That will do it.
That’s the last of my poem-a-day-poems for April. I hope you find them as funny as I do. Admittedly, some are half assed, some are good, and one is a song. Read them here. P.S. I am in the middle of recording a Mercy Choir album, therefore this has been the most creatively productive month of my entire life. Thanks.

Dad Teaching Son To Be More Like Cow
With a long sigh and a rounded skull he met the cantor with a frown. His drug was shaped like apple skin his diet made of fire. “Grow strong without vendetta,” he said to his unborn son. “Race, but don’t hurry. Frown, but don’t sneer.” “But dad,” he replied, “What’s the use and where’s the satisfaction?” “The use is...

Game
Let’s play a game. Grab a deck of cards, spread them across the floor. Dump a bucket of water on them, let’s slip around the room.

Easter
First, remove the bonnet. Underneath you will find a blue hairclip. Rip it out of her hair. Slam in into a tree. Devour her scalp. Give yourself a round of applause

Animals do this:
Animals are only piles of guts. They sniff and eat and shit. They fast for a few hours. They squint and wear hats. Animals makes noises and arrange them into songs. They put periods at the end of sentences. They fuck because they can’t not fuck. They throw balls at each other. Animals rate things according to their mood. They trade pieces of paper for objects and ideas. They...

He did not smoke these cigarettes. He drove them to the city, placed them in the middle of a busy street, and knelt down beside them. Girls wearing eyeglasses would eventually crowd around him, light up the...
