/lit/ - Literature

dead as the leaves in union square
dead as the graveyard sea
the eyes of a new york woman
are never going to cry for me
are never going to cry for me

What's the problem, Anon? It's just a

Rag-a-muffin' life
To pull-you-through-that strife
Ain't nothin' to joke,
But if you'll only just smoak
Then maybe it'll be all-right?

[Chorus]
But that (oh)
Full-some pre-tentio-si-ty
That fills your -- thoughts, with me-diocri-ty
It's just (hey!)
Holdin' you back
If it would give you some slack
You might 'preciate ver-bosity

[Neckbeards and shitposters amble in, tripping over each others' feet; an unrealistically proportioned nude male of color begins gyrating his hips in an animated fashion, drawing one's eye--and yes, the Anons' as well!--toward the pendulous 'pendage which describes major arcs at pelvic-level. A passing /pol/lak, copy of The Culture Of Critique in hand, pauses to gaze 'pon the sight, salivating involuntarily]

[James Joyce:] There's!
[Joseph McElroy:] Nothing quite wrong
[Vladimir Nabokov:] With!
[Herman Melville:] Puttin' a song
[John Williams:] 'Midst suf-fer-ing and gran-deur
[William Gaddis:] And if you'll just
[Virginia Woolf:] Follow a-long
[Gene Wolf:] You might find yourself drawn
[All:] Into a world that doesn't pander

[All] [Chorus x 2]

Did you make this one up, Anon?

Nice

Give this guy a contract!

>>10015754
This is our dear beloved Pinecone himself shitposting, ain't it?

>>10015754
But what's the time signature?

>>10015833

First voice (Open Interpretation):

Member of the public.
Gets a day job. Remains,
Anon among the mice
that Occupy that type
of suit. A corporate type.
Yet open to disclosure.

Plant Sample repeats into distortion: (Does anybody remember laughter?)

Second Voice (Baritone):

Shush, shush, shush, shut, shut, shut, shut it, shut it, shut it, shut it, ittuhss, ittuhss. Shoosh.

Chorus (Young to middle age men):

(Crying, whimpering, howling.)

One job

This is worth more than 7 tomes of Harry Potter.

What do you expect? The man himself wrote it. I know, I know someone makes a joke like that every time Pynchon's name gets mentioned around here. But this time, I'm sure of it.

dave.. easy on the footnotes

Hello Thomas

Hey Tom, include me in the bibliography

I don't think there could exist a better litmus test for determining whether or not a /lit/ poster is under 18 than their participation in or continuance of the "________ ... easy on the ________" meme.

>>10016252

easy on the rambunctious behaviour

>>10014992
Oh, THE WORLD OVER THERE, it's
So hard to explain!
Just-like, a dream's-got, lost in yer brain!
Dancin' like a fool through that Forb-den Wing,
Waitin' fer th' light to start shiver-ing - well,
Who ev-ver said ya couldn't move that way,
Who ev-ver said ya couldn't try?
If-ya find-there's-a-lit-tle-pain,
Ya can al-ways-go-back-a-gain, cause
Ya don't-ev-er-real-ly-say, good-by!

>>10015754
Is that really you, Pinecone? When's your next book. I hope it's a big one.
