Thom Donovan's She's Lost Control Again

We are happy to present Thom Donovan's small collection of poems, She's Lost Control Again.

Inspired in equal parts by the Joy Division song and Mika Rottenberg's multimedia work "Squeeze," Donovan's poems investigate the relationship between body and product. The poems are "A tale of power / Told by the soul at work." ($2) [vol 18]

If you are interested in purchasing a copy by mail, you can pay via PayPal, or send an email to mondobummer@gmail.com to arrange payment by mail (barter welcome!!!!!!!!!). Per usual, domestic shipping is free.

One of my favorite Internet search results for "Mondo Bummer"

I had a statue of the Brain, from Pinky and the Brain, on my desk. It was about a foot tall, and stood on my desk for six years.

Now, thanks to the clumsiness of in-laws, it's smashed to pieces.

If I may add an anecdote:
One day, my daughter of three years was playing with a squirt gun in the house.
It was quite amusing, as she could barely get her chubbed hands around the damn thing.....cutie....Anyway....One day I found her by the TV, really close up, watching Barney or something, and playing with the squirt gun, shooting water within the TV's heat vents (You know some big 90's TVS had like these vents in the front to let out heat from the circuitry what have you). Anyway....I asked her to stop (stern "NO BABY, NO") and I guess she did stop when I was around, but one day, mysteriously, the TV stopped working. The only thing I could do was laugh my ass off.

The material things around me pass like the wind.
I try to hold things close to myself that really define who I am, which in my mind are only my thoughts, ideals, my friends, and family.

Cherish, and revel in the fact that the in-laws broke it with a smile.
You've still got the things of real value within yourself and around you.

PS. Make lots of backups...toddlers pull power cords.

I'm hoping you've omitted the bit about what happened to the in-laws out of not wanting to get too gory.

They can break? We've got these foot tall PVC plastic(?) statues, one each of Pinky and The Brain and I thought they were pretty much indestructible, though I've never tested them out for destructo-ness.

I bought one for my wife for Xmas 1995 or 1996 and her friend bought her the other.

I feel for your loss.
