Pynch...easy on the songs

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]

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.)

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.

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.

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!
