Pastoral, by Henry Taylorvinnie_teslaJanuary 10 2007, 06:10:21 UTC
In the country, you learn to live at peace with your neighbor; he is farther away, but when you meet, you always stop and talk.
You learn that he is a pathologist who every day kisses his wife goodbye and goes into the lab, and blows up a goat.
The trees grow up around you as he speaks.
Afterwards, he counts the fragments, notes their average size, and calculates the impact with which they struck the walls. In the evening. you might hear him mowing his lawn, or closing his garage door for the night. Cricket sounds surround you both out here; in the morning, when you pass him on the road, you smile and wave.
You don't know me and my this journal I'm using right now is pretty empty, but in my defense I am in Montreal, I did go to Royal West (albeit just for a year), I'm in need of friends and, most importantly, am very cute. I think we have some things in common too. Either way, I hope you'll add me to your journal.
Also, if you are still unsure you can check out my old journal (mr_manifesto).
For the hint of what lies beneath, I'll add and see if you'll let me look around. I love used bookstores. I love depth. I love nuance. I think you'll be worth more than a browse, I am curious.
This isn't a poem Really just a request To be on your friends list Because you seem cool And are totally sexy And I very much like Sexy and cool people
