Jul. 23rd, 2012 06:12 pmGoing through my drafts-of-poems, etc.-from-high-school pile. Some hilarious stuff. Under the title "Preface to a Treatise on Fast Food Imperialism," is:
I dreamt I met the Basic Ideas
Taking part in the dance of the dead, the thin
Ritual haunting of mortal minds.
Their benevolent simplicity, I became
Refreshed by their truths against the world
And consciousness was again sublime.
Of course. Of course. 1997.
The most surprising things are titles (like this one) that never made it very far and which I've therefore forgotten. Another was "Skeptics! We need more skeptics!"
