douglas
let me ask you a question
you’re a literary type, right?
so the background goes like this:
i’m trying to heat my own apartment which has no central heat
so i decided to turn on my own and leave it open
will that kill me like it killed sylvia plath?
more specifically: did she poison herself with the fumes from her gas oven
or did she actually “bake” her own head?
my own oven, i mean
everyone seems to agree that she (1) stuck her head in the oven (2) turned it on
but alas, douglas, how did she actually die?
by way of a poisoning through noxious fumes? or through the cosmic sylvie-head-casserole?
