I really liked that poem!

I like Michelson a lot. I did a reading with him once.

You can sort of bake apples in the microwave. It's not a perfect substitute, but it's not bad. (Once lived in a student flat with two rings and a microwave....)

I have also microwaved apples: spatch and I once lived in an apartment which had an oven in the sense that it took up space in the kitchen, but not in the sense that it worked, and it took the landlord months to replace it. It just feels demoralizing!
