wonder woman

stars and stripes and
quantum leaps and
video tapes and
eyes to wipe
but no more eyes, that's why

i miss her, i miss
having days to save
and my little miss america wave
and proving a point
with more than just barrettes and tiny stars

and this is the heroine i choose
when i move inside the laws of natural selection
and maybe i should buy back the jingle--but
my wrists are the last things that need protection
and there’s really not a lot to lose

this is excellent.

mine was about: potato guns, matt shannon, that pain in my skull, cody williams, prom, and green day references

yeah, this is super excellent. (get it? "super"? HA)

it is actually "didn't care" and not "don't care," in keeping with the what tl;dr stands for, but basically yeah. now i will write you a poem about ponies and unicorns:

ponies
galloping across the fields
they meet a unicorn
DAZZLE
the unicorn stamps his hooves nobly
and nobly proclaims himself
lord over the ponies,
small and fragile as they are
(like the lotus flower)
and when a pony dissents
he spears it
nobly
with his dazzling horn

/end poem






(it represents human suffering)

This is the third time I read this, but I'm now commenting to prove I do really read your blog.
While I'm don't hope to understand it, I like the part about wrists.
