Read an Excerpt

Excerpt from LOVE IS A MIDSUMMER THUNDERSTORM

No one can tell me what love is
It's a midnight thunderstorm and it's as lame
as a cheese knife present

It is horny pajamas
watching someone more talented than you
vacuuming in peace
a fresh batch
of fat nasty breaking open the sea

It is seeing leg braces
lying on the beach with no one in sight
