Mockingbirds Contemplating Semicolons

Somewhere between Dylan Thomas at his most surreal and Groucho Marx at his most dada-inspired there is a glib gone world an irrepressible slapstick zone to which only the fearless may go-dangerously frolicsome recklessly free a mosh pit of thought and word so fractiously giddy and infectiously inviting so combative and alluring in tone and intent it can fracture your bones (and elevate your soul).
