I
said
"
worm
sperm"
to
a
bookstore clerk.
I
meant
to
say
, "
whale
sperm"
which
doesn't
make
it
better
,
really
.
I
was
talking
about
Moby
Dick
and
how
there
is
so
much
whale
sperm
in
that
book
...
My
sister
was
behind
me
stifling
a
laugh
as
I
just
kept
saying
"sperm"
at
an
innocent
man
,
who
didn't
even
ask
me
about
the
book
.
I
wish
I
could
say
that
next
time
I
go
there
I'll
be
less
weird
,
but
I
know
that's
a
promise
I
can't
keep
.
