Three short stories that are about being different: "Pigface's Lament" suggests that a dog, Stanley in particular, is capable of commiting suicide; "Dr. Timmy" faints in the classroom, and his students do everything they can to make him do it again and again; "Life in the Energy Zone" is about a young man who thinks he can see the future in the reflections around him. The Poetry is...well, it's just odd.
