Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I don't really care either way
Can I get back into bed now
(Robert Frost)
Because I could not stop for Death
Because I could not stop for Death -
He kindly stopped for me -
And said - Hey Girl - Are you All Right
Cos - Tbh - You look like Me.
Do not go gentle into that good night
Do not go gentle into that good night
You have so many unresolved issues, unanswered emails, and
unavoidable social interactions to worry about instead
(Dylan Thomas)
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both,
I stood there sweating and biting my nails
Because decisions really really stress me out
(Robert Frost)
The Red Wheelbarrow
so much depends
upon
10 mg Citalopram
(Celexa)
taken nightly with
water
thank god for
science
(William Carlos Williams)
If—
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
What is your secret and can we be friends
(Rudyard Kipling)
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
I have no self-control and I was eating my feelings
(William Carlos Williams)
I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
Of my acquaintances and peers
Hanging out like it was nbd
And I wondered how I could leave
Before anyone noticed me
(William Wordsworth)
The Raven
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Scrolling numbly through the social media feed of yore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my bedroom door.
"Sorry, I can't hang out," I said, "I'm extremely busy—
I have a lot of work to get done and I'm very overwhelmed right now"
(Edgar Allan Poe)
Howl
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness starving
hysterical naked,
and I pulled out my phone to check for new likes on my Instagram
(Allen Ginsberg)
Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art just about as physically overwhelming
Except summer days begin and end
And when you come you seem neverending
(Shakespeare)
Tubthumping
I get knocked down
Then I get up again
Because I'm a creature of habit
(Chumbawamba)
