vocab poem

We’re so convoluted I’m thinking most turn away with a grit in their mouth that makes them petulant. You and I crawled those vacant streets in a muse that philosophers wish they could coalesce their minds into. Remember when we filled the gutters with putrid ideas and the intellects still ate them with mirth? Why do they act so rapacious towards our heads? Our choices were so impetuous and iniquitous Charles Manson could probably see them from his cell. We were such swindlers.

who is the guy who wrote the Basketball Diaries - Carroll I think. I will investigate. You may also like Denis Johnson's short stories. There is a very interesting voice here. Add more concrete imagery though. - elmeer
