Produktbeschreibung
All of the poems in Surf Music are short, and some are funny. At least one or two were written on an electric typewriter given to the author sometime during his freshman year of high school.

One might be able to find the value of a single variable, or at least define the relationship between two variables in the clearest possible terms. Surf Music is part of that equation, and it feels good.
