From Michael Herr, Dispatches, what he wrote while embedded in Vietnam, back when. For me, these are some of the finest paragraphs written in English.
Thinking about this every time I reach into my jacket to take the Vicodin and Whatnot for the back pain. Dexedrine breath like dead snakes kept too long in a jar.
Not because my life has anything to do with 4th Division Lurps. Just because I’m not used to reaching for perception-altering pills in my pocket.
