    The Canadian Rockies. A land as stark and desolate as my soul. I'm the best there is at what do, but what I do best---

    Oops, wandered into someone else's stream of consciousness.

    Silly platitudes,
    memorials for minutiae,
    people crying over things,
    they'll forget tomorrow,
    we have to do something,
    you didn't do it and we did,
    but we didn't do it.

    I have no idea! But I did learn that a bucket full of rocks and water is better than any Christmas tree stand you purchase in the store!

    Don't worry, someday you will turn 20 and then you can become a hipster. In the time being perhaps you would like to make some bread with the yeast that is coming out of your sand filled vagina? I heard Gturner will eat anything, and I was thinking we might try.

    Once you have a bucket full of rocks, you're 90 percent of the way to having an Internet. Odd but true.

    Tired of stones, me. Unsure of the Black Forest and rocky on the Alps. I prefer the beach and the tide and the surf and a good night's sleep, but I do enjoy this thread as well.

    Ooh, a poetry slam thread.

    My mom took away my Xbox,
    because I called some guy a faggot
    while playing Call of Duty.
    This is the worst thing that happened to anyone.

    I started a Go Fund Me
    so I can buy another one.
    No one gave me any money
    because the world is unfair.

    I told my mom to give it back,
    but she said I was grounded
    for two weeks.
    Who does that bitch think she is?
    I'm 35 years old! She can't ground me!

    I am the most oppressed person
    on the entire planet.

    Ich weiß nicht, welches der Dinge
    und ob es der Wind enthält;
    Das Rauschen der Vogelschwinge,
    begreift es den Sinn der Welt?

    Der Häher warf mir seine blaue
    Feder in den Sand.
    Sie liegt wie eine schlaue
    Antwort in meiner Hand.

    (That's Günter Eich, not me, but I like it. Lots.)

    ^ A very worthwhile bit of writing to come from Ireland - what a welcome change of pace for this place.

    I can try, but it's a favourite not least because I could never do it justice.

    I don't know which of all things
    And if it's in the wind's gleaning;
    Do the rushes of a bird's wings
    Gather our world's meaning?

    The jaybird threw its blue
    Feather down into the sand.
    Like some all too smart clue
    I now hold it in my own hand.

    Yeah fellas and dames, the internet is empty........empty like my wallet after a three day bender with a one legged Sicilian tranny with fifteen kids to support and two months late on the rent.
