a writer on a site I used to potter around on used this:

"Ruin them. Wreck their lives. Then build them cubicles to end their days
in. Hushaby. Lullaby. Die, dog. Little dog, die."

haven't read Joyce, that kind of makes me want to. but I'm reading The sound
and the glory just now. genius.
I actually, very briefly, adopted "LONG FRILLY / PALAVERS ARE SILLY" as my
sig at that same site. thanks to whoever posted that weird poem here.

"wires above the doorway, man" is a line from a poet I know that pops to
mind, for some reason. I've always liked that line (it's the name of the
poem too as I recall)
