“My memories are twitching like morning in the city.”

While driving home last night at about 11:45pm this guy came on the radio…perhaps it was the setting and my state of mind but the passage and the author’s delivery struck me.

I thought it was a poem because I’d flipped the station too late to hear the host’s introduction. He’s actually reading from a novel, but I prefer to think it’s a poem.

I’ve looked up the book and have no intention of reading it…but prefer to think this was everything he intended.
