Millennials are killing Poe's Raven


From Ross Wolinsky's "The Millennial Raven" in McSweeney's: Once upon a midnight dreary, Tinder swiping, buzzed and weary/I asked Siri about my sushi ordered one hour before/ While I chewed some pretzels, snacking, suddenly there came a tapping/As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my apartment door/"'Tis my roommate," I muttered, "walking 'cross the hardwood floor/Only this and nothing more."
