Want to hear my favourite bit of poetry? Of course it doesn't matter if you say no, because I'm writing it and not telling it, so you won't be hearing it you'll be reading it, so that was a dumb question but a sneaky way of making it look like you had a choice in the matter.
"But what kind of scale compares the weight of two beauties? The gravity of duties, or the ground speed of joy? Tell me what kind of gauge could quantify elation? What kind of equation could I possibly employ?... ...But I guess this is the price we pay for the privilege of living for even a day In a world with so many things worth believing in." -Ani Difranco, School Night
By the way, I liked your poem. (In fact, I still like it. How's that?)
