Don\u2019t read this book. Swim in it.
\n 
\nWe\u2019re all always floundering through the frequently fetid waters
\nof jargon, clich\u00e9 and manipulation around us anyhow.
\nBut in Cartoon Molecules <\/a>, you plunge into \u2013
\nor sometimes get knocked over by \u2013 bracing waves.
\n 
\nLike, let\u2019s say Greekish<\/em> words in\u00a0 Cartoon Molecules <\/a>
\n– Proem – bowl you over.
\n 
\nOkay, just hold your breath and hang on, because who\u2019s splayed out there on the shoals speaking up for you?
\n 
\nThe least pretentious fellows you ever met, Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
\nThey\u2019re as clueless as you:<\/strong>
\n 
\nditto – we know not what we do
\ndum\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 that\u2019s what makes a story<\/em>\u00a0 (Carton Molecules)<\/strong>
\n 
\nThese pieces are pieces of everybody\u2019s mind, not necessarily lovely, but that\u2019s just one of the reasons they\u2019re recognizable. Robin Ouzman Hislop opens the inside of his head,
\nand lo and behold, it turns out to be your own, stuck, as we all are,<\/strong>
\n 
\nhere now
\nin time’s traffic jam
\nwhere all landscapes blend<\/b><\/em>\u00a0<\/b><\/b>(Eternalism\u00a0(power in the block universe)<\/strong>
\n 
\nand<\/strong>
\n 
\nwords might have been our downfall<\/em><\/strong>
\n 
\nthe voice that\u2019s the voice in our head tries to shrug off the very language it is composed of, since<\/strong>
\n 
\nperhaps from now on<\/em><\/strong>
\nwe should just go on
\n downstream
\nheading for the ocean\u2019s waves<\/em> (Orphean Twist)<\/strong>
\n 
\nBracing. Isn\u2019t that the job of poetry?<\/strong>
