2:23 a.m.
for uglykatey, this 100th entry
Katey oh Katey, I hope you're asleep
And not dead in drifts of textbooks deep
With miles of deadlines yet to keep
And miles of deadlines yet to keep
You're so cool that wired sheep
Count you before they collapse in sleep
And dream, as sheep do, of lambs unfleeced
Or what passes for ewe porno outside of Greece
Oh God, I can't shake the tick
Of talking to strangers in limerick.
It wouldn't seem so bad
If I were an Irish lad
But I'm not. It strikes one as sick,
Or me anyway, that I can't relate
To others in verse sophisticate,
But regardless I persist
In syntactical twist
Assaulting passersby thus (i.e., berate
Fellow humankind
Unendingly with rhyme
Until I lose breath
And surrender to death
And the petrification of time).
Regardless, oh look! My 100th note
Qua Diaryland: look as I float
Carelessly free
From outlawed gravity
And the faint stink of expired hope.
Oh you, disappointed Pandora.
I never imagined heartbreak so huge.
Dismantle death
And leave me bereft
In my box. Apres nous, le deluge.
