Head, Meet Desk

This is not going to be a good weekend. Eugh.

Dear Mum, yelling at me about my grades is not useful. Stop. kthxbye

There will be a spastic, whiny emo post sometime this weekend. Feel free to ignore it.

One and a half poems today, because I had to share the programmer poem copperbadge put up today.

I like the first part best, I just think the whole thing is too long. (Note, some of the lines are indented, but I can't trick LJ into doing them that way.)

I Sing the Body Electric, Walt Whitman
1
I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.

Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead?
And if the body does not do fully as much as the soul? And if the body
were not the soul, what is the soul?

( the rest gets cut, natch )

A final thought: Tropicana Peach Papaya Juice Drink (contains 5% juice) tastes like neither peach nor papaya. Discuss.
