I&#8217;m a snow-covered mountain in an empty room.<\/p>\n<p>8. I should pour through the keyhole or evaporate completely.<\/p>\n<p>9. I have tried marijuana. I get nervous every time: There will come a knocking at the door.<\/p>\n<p>10. I am a man who will fight for your honor.<\/p>\n<p>11. I&#8217;d like to be under the sea.<\/p>\n<p>12. When I was an astronaut, an asteroid ht the earth and prematurely ended my career.<\/p>\n<p>13. My tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. My eye socket&#8217;s empty. I&#8217;m a space invader, I&#8217;ll be a rock-and-rolling bitch for you. This film is a saddening bore, because I wrote it ten times or more. I&#8217;d like to be a gallery and put you all inside my show.<\/p>\n<p>14. I live above a grocer&#8217;s store owned by an Austrian. He often calls me down for tea. He jokes about his broken English, tries to be a friend to me. But for all my years of reading conversation, I stand without a word to say.<\/p>\n<p>15. My death waits there among the leaves.<\/p>\n<p>16. I&#8217;ve got an electric guitar and half a bottle of warm beer. I&#8217;ve got some funny ideas about what sounds good.<\/p>\n<p>17. I may be hungry but I sure ain&#8217;t weird.<\/p>\n<p>18. Eight miles out of Memphis and I got no spare.<\/p>\n<p>19. I&#8217;ve got a crystal ball, a divining rod, a magnifying glass and a pack of dogs.<\/p>\n<p>20. The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south.<\/p>\n<p>21. Memories of it still keep calling and calling, but forget it all, I know I will.<\/p>\n<p>22. My wheels never touched the road.<\/p>\n<p>23. It&#8217;s awfully considerate of you to think of me here, and I&#8217;m much obliged to you for making it clear that I&#8217;m not here. I&#8217;ve been looking all over the place for a place for me, but it ain&#8217;t anywhere. It just ain&#8217;t anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>24. I&#8217;m a Citizens for Boysenberry Jam fan.<\/p>\n<p>25.
