Poem

Okay, first you need to read this. I'm not--well, okay, it's Gertrude Stein, so there's probably some mocking involved, but actually, playing around with stream of consciousness and repetition was sort of fun for its own sake, and I may do again sometime. If I get famous, you can say you knew me when.

Midsummer

Dog in the grass, alas--
yellow grass
green grass
blue grass
fiddlefiddlefiddlefiddlefiddlefiddlefiddlefiddle
pluck, pluck, pluck
twaaaaaaaaang
dog lying in tall grass
shorter grass
goldenrod and clover
munch munch munch
honey comes from clover via bees
bees in the grass
sting the dog, alas.


For the sheer hell of it, here's a photo to illustrate.

You are free to call me either pretentious or completely off my rocker. ;)

Um... Becca... I think you may need to get out of the house. Or at least go read a book. A normal book. One without our dear friend Gertrude. Or sharp objects. I'm gonna need to ask you for your belt and your shoelaces now...

And I hope you brought enough crack for the rest of the class. It's not nice to be selfish. Muahah! Cute puppy!

This, I will agree with.

I was totally not reading Gertrude Stein. (I'm not thatcrazed.) Rather, I was thinking of the "Cicely" episode of NX (BTW, you still want episodes? No hurry or anything, just whenever you've decided on a few, let me know and I'll send them your way), and Ed/Ned reading his version of the pigeon poem, and this happened. It's totally not my fault!

Cute puppy!
