Buy Adam Robison

[Adam Robinson's] mix of classical and mundane references imbues lines like "There would be a pronounced lack/ Of throwing Nerf balls to paralytics/ In the basement" with more meaning than they have any right to have.

Excerpt (poem):

Curtis Ebbesmeyer, Leading Authority on Flotsam

What’s up with bottled water man

Bottled water is an interesting economy

One at $1.29 or a big case for $3.89

Boy howdy what’s the deal with bottled water

What’s the deal with the trash vortex

Who put all that plastic in the ocean

Dude why’d your uncle put all that plastic in the ocean

What’s up with watered bottles man

Oh crap they got Legos in the ocean

Radial tires ten meters deep and toothbrushes

They got kayaks just floating around nowhere

What the heck happened there

When there are unmanned kayaks floating in the ocean

Is it right do you think that we’re thinking about waste

Why aren’t we thinking “uh oh where’s Bob and Marcia”

“Where’s Bob and Marcia since their honeymoon”

Oh holy wow Curtis Ebbesmeyer is so cool

One time 90,000 Nikes fell off a boat actually

34,000 hockey gloves fell off a boat no joke so

Curtis Ebbesmeyer got all the surfers together

He got all the beachcombers and together they tracked the ocean

Whenever a Nike floated past somebody called him up

Curt put it on a map and that’s how he tracked the ocean

They were all tracking ocean currents with mis-shipped Nikes

You see what I’m saying broham

What’s the deal with bottled water

Sometimes as a whole we’re smart

And sometimes as a whole

We’re going to die in four years
