once upon a time, there was this giant pebble
careening through outerspace at a snail's pace
for about five seconds
crawling with insects that had only two legs
and an insatiable desire for blackberry jam

they covered the pebble with a million invisible lines
and eventually anihilated the entirety of their own population
and rendered the pebble unfit for inhabitation
all in their quest for more blackberry jam.

when the five seconds were up,
the shamefaced pebble
smoulderingly ambled its way to a quiet corner of the universe
where it could sit and drink a little scotch
and wearily ponder the hazards of predictability

    that's my favourite poem at the moment. it contains everything that i like. except scotch. i don't like scotch. it has rocks, space, insects and some sort of unidentifiable emotion.

    hey friend phoeby!
    you're a rummage addict like me?
    don't you just love discovering half-forgotten gems like this, in an antique-and-curio shop like sc?
