Okay, I'll play--and thanks to marsist for proposing it--

1. Grab the nearest book.

2. Open the book to page 23.

3. Find the fifth sentence (not line, sentence).

4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

"They both must've been shivering,

And the first snowflakes glistening, glistening

In her black hair." The Paris Review volume 30, number 109, Winter 1988 "poem, "These Homemade Dolls Are No Good" by Charles Simic

La...ain't I all intemelectual an' shit?

Can you tell that I'm in the Alchemy office? If it'd been chez moi, the sentence would have come from either, hmmm, what books do I have near Nadine? Ah yes, it'd be porn. Or some grammatical tome.

Maybe more later ~

Back one. ||||| Forward one.
