That was cool.
« on: February 01, 2005, 04:00:52 PM »
So, I went to my Film and Poetry teacher (classes are not related) to have him look over my poetry and he really dug one them so much so as to say it reminded him of his favorite poet, Stevens. But we had a fun talk that I think I'll be enjoying his company here on campus. So, here's the poem that he enjoyed (and helped me to like it all the more):

A shortage of water,
Shortages of electricity,
But if there's one thing
That's in abundance,
One thing that makes us

In the dead of winter,
Or the peak of summer.
Toiling under the sun, or
Waiting on the frozen lake,
An ox or fish,
A hoe or rod.

The man on the street
playing for loose change,
The woman with her briefcase.
The signs everywhere,
Surround everything.
“NOTHING IS TRUE. EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED.”
                William S. Burroughs

“Who needs girls when you’ve got comics?”
                Grant Morrison’s Flex Mentallo
