And ME


To whom it may concern;

  As for poetry ...I am angered, ired and shaken, at the innocent, not so

 

innocent. So I kicked the dog and strangled the cat, engaged the universal - I

 

don't do this enough, Mr. Olympic I am not. Lost on Chess, chided and cursed

 

my PC, wasted time with TV. Read some pro poetry...Dickinson, Blake,

 

Roethke, and incited script. Seems all new has faded, fallen apart or been

 

bowdlerized.

 

Day's events unfolded comically as the cat barfed on the envelope containing

 

our school's requisition form. Wiped the slate clean and remained reticent on

 

the subject. Seems fitting for this to happen in hind site. I am pretty sure the

 

strangulation happened after she barfed, but nonetheless I shall aim to refrain

 

from punishing chat. Thank god for the comic relief.

 

 My poetry opened up to Richard Cory, not so happy fella in 1897. This seems

 

fitting for many who live, as is The Unknown Citizen. The book is an old text

 

from University and is my only staple for good literature. Reading this text

 

helps the imagination and shows that even then humanity questioned whether

 

the days events were worthwhile happenings.

 

The dog is an old memory, chat still lives, my binding is cracked and secured

 

by duct tape. Very befitting.

 

Sincerely,

 

Me.

  • When I asked for a "letter" I meant in letter format, with paragraphs, not stanzas and beginning with "dear __________" and ending with "yours, ___________" or something along those lines.
