Frustrating not to be able to share my simple joys with complicated people.
Frankenstein's monster ended up confusing flower petals with brittle, little girl necks.
Lenny wanted to share the soft and soothing experience of petting cute bunny rabbits with hard, callused ranch hands.
The satisfaction that you get with filling a house full of new furniture does nothing to quell the vast emptiness of my soul.
Your fast food gives you ths satisfaction equivalent to my frustrated headache.
What noisy gardners give me before waking dreams is your extra hour to get a cup of coffee before work.
Nintendo to your Wii.
My Mad Libs to your Blackberry.
I breathe lung cancer.
You live.
I am too far-sighted and not hungry enough to follow a fucking carrot.
I see six million blind and beautiful shuffling mules.
Not even aware of the shit that they're leaving behind.
I see me forever mulling over the potential beauty of six million animals blinding me with their unstoppable momentum.

You're such a FUCKING poet, dude!

I want to read it again and feel it trickling down my throat, even though the sounds of it are only shaped by my mind, not my mouth...
Also, I'm looking forward to learning the rest of the post below, the one with the flippity flopped title...Sigur Ros...? Heh. That title, above a golden little R2 makes me chuckle...going to Iceland...?
