filet O fish for my tortured wife


Art for art's sake, for those who spend all their spare time in front of the television set and tell the newspapers what books they are saving up for the summer even though they then don't find time to read them, and over the Christmas holidays relax an evening or two with good literature? I'm not an idiot, for those folks I write when I have something to tell them. Art for art's sake I write for myself and my wife. The importance of an appreciative audience cannot be overemphasized.

from Serious Poems (1997) by Kai Nieminen


David Lynch digs fish, whereas I'm guessing Roger Qbert is a McRib-Mannnn...
