[lack of] "epic"

Hannah left for her birthday weekend and then came back. Rosette and Margaret merged this and this
and made a fantastic chocolate banana cream pie.
yes yes yes

I spent most of Saturday in bed, got up in time to help make falafel and eat Margaret's lemon bars
i watched two movies recently: O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and Fight Club

its been raining and snowing and sleeting and then warm and confusing.
what's new?



e.e. cummings

You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.

Come with me, then,
And we'll leave it far and far away—
(Only you and I, understand!)

You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and—
Just tired.
So am I.

But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart—
Open to me!
For I will show you the places Nobody knows,
And, if you like,
The perfect places of Sleep.

Ah, come with me!
I'll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
That floats forever and a day;
I'll sing you the jacinth song
Of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,
Until I find the Only Flower,
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
While the moon comes out of the sea.
