@Soreth Also, it's like the one form of expression where my tendency to think in parenthetical run-on sentences is both useful and allowed.
I also just really like playing with flow.
re: On Poetry
@Soreth Music, right? Honestly, I'm stealing it from poetry youtube. It's all good stuff, (otherwise it might not be inspiring me to steal from it) but there are enough similarities in delivery that my ears start seeing patterns.
re: On Poetry
It's Music.
Synesthesia. Tying multiple senses together so that stimulating one produces responses in another. If you ever see someone talking about hearing in color, than your smelling what I'm touching, and I feel what your saying.
I invented a piece of fictional artwork that I haven't even tried to prototype, to try and show what this sounds like, so that other people can smell this amazing sensation.
And I can't see it, but my mind knows how it should feel, and can hear the dried paint on the smell of the stretched canvas while this spark tries to speak into my eyes sweet enough for my ears to be able to see everyone saying:
"I feel you."

On Poetry
To Poet
Thanks to the algorithm and hormones, I cry on the semi-regular now.
Every so often, poetry on youtube will appear in my recommendations and I will ignore work, and ignore emails, and open up tab after tab.
And watching, I listen to people autopsy themselves while they're still alive.
After-action reports of first dates, and lost loves, and that one time i realized my tits were different sized, but they were still awesome, and how it feels to be holding my loved one's empty husk, waiting for the EMT's to arrive while praying that I was wrong and there was still some one to be saved and not turn taking a shower into the hardest thing I'll ever have to do.
Speaking into microphones I'll never have in front of me, to audiences I'll never met, saying word that I know but have never heard.
In that way,
with that voice,
In stories of pain, and love, and loss and hope; mundane as a to-do list and as profund as revealing the answer to the oldest question, Why?
Why me? Why this? Why him, Why not her? Why this story, and not that one, because you've told this one before, and i've heard it better out of them and not you and what makes me so convinced that MY story is worth sharing, even though so many others have said it before.
Said it better.
Said it with far more eloquence, and with better diction that some confused 36-year old kid pretending to be an adult with a functional brain.
And watching, every time, I cry, and I hear the answer.
@noiob probably saving it for PS6 for when we're all even older and feeling even more nostalgia, and they'll be able to capture the really young kids who've never seen yellow electronics before
Things I remember about Animorphs
1. My Name is: I always figured Eminem was referencing these books instead of polite name tag, and was just too attached to being hip hop to admit it.
2. The Chee.
3. Crayak is a dick
4. No. 26 The Attack is where Jake and Cassie hand Crayak a defeat unintentionally by having their first kiss.
5. I could always picture the Animorph's mall in my mind, and it always looked like Ridgedale Mall in Minnetonka, MN in my head.
6. Visser was a great fucking book. I hate the Yerks (protip, kids: space fascism sucks, cause it's still fascism.) But I was also watching a lot of Law and Order when it came out, so Court stuff was neat to me, and I remember that.
re: animorphs
@Oneironott yuuup!
Also, same.
@velexiraptor sort of? It gets tough when not everyone wants to date me back :)
@velexiraptor I solved that problem by wanting to date everyone.
@Oneironott *wags, happy barks, facelicks and tail squeezing* yay! You are gonna get so many huskypets when the world is open! (and a lot of other people too!)
@Oneironott I like pets! And I want to pet you too!
@Ratttz 1. The trick is having multiple pedals and the multi-plexed leg modules to run them
@orrery and it turns out I've been using the wrong name! I've gotta take the AMCAT, not the MCAT, which is for medicine.
