nothing better to do
well, it's like four in the morning and i have nuthing to do with my life, so i thought i'd share a poem. it's not a poem by me, though i am considering putting one of mine up. this poem is by one of the greatest poets ever, in my opinion anyway, Emily Dickinson. it's my favorite one, please enjoy.

What is- "Paradise"-
Who live there-
Are they "Farmers"-
Do they "hoe"-
Do they know that this is "Amherst"-
And that I- am coming- too-

Do they wear "new shoes"- in "Eden"-
Is it always pleasant- there-
Won't they scold us- when we're homesick-
Or tell God- how cross we are-

You sure there's such a person
As "a Father"- in the sky-
So if I get lost- there- ever-
Or do what the Nurse calls "die"-
I shan't walk the "Jasper"- barefoot-
Ransomed folks- won't laugh at me-
Maybe- "Eden" a'n't so lonesome
As New England used to be!

Dickinson rocks, does she not? i love her work. well, goodnight everybody!
