Are you really this retarded? I mean really, HURR IT'S 66 BOOKS DURR

Shut the fuck up you basic pleb. It is one book, and it's meant to be read as one book. If it wasn't you've be able to pick up a book of Ruth at B&N with your mocha latte.

>Cover to cover
How do you plebs even think books work? Would you try to read any other book by just reading selected passages and skipping back and forth between chapters, and then go on to have the audacity to claim that you've read the book?

Really, what the fuck do you even think you're doing?

Maybe you're just too pleb to read the Bible son.

I would love to live off the grid myself but unfortunately I've completely addicted to the internet pornography and I can't stop.

Well, you are very welcome.

Actually I don't.

Another poem... (written a few weeks ago)


notes of galled pianos,
plucking harmonies
from clamoring thickets;
tangled honeysuckle
and caramel-rayed spigots
quickly dilate-

like progressions always
ripping out the hearts of
swaying, winged reverie;
sudden ringing laughter,
ingrained in me, deeply,
as doubt does blur-

with finales to match,
or perhaps ripen to
a flowing unison;
reverberations of
your eyes always finespun,
and lost in octaves

Thank you for your contribution.

I rather enjoyed your rhyme scheme.

Here, is something I wrote awhile back after a good friend of mine overdosed on heroin...
Of course out of that I experemented with that but it's not like that's relevant...

But here you are, I'm open to critique.
Some grope for sage words but they just manage

To spill more coffee than any wisdom

On the white-ish smudged plastic’s tabletop

While blovulating about God vaguely

But this biker attempts to talk sense instead.
Here sit some battered, fried birds in this room,

(One very mashed potato ashes his cigarette

With superquickflick of a yellowed thumb)

Who couldn’t cure with the hair of the dog,

What the treacherous mutt had fiercely bit.
Someone please lay their healing hands on me,

I was an atheist ‘til this morning,

I woke up and while I was vomiting

I decided to trade in pill-formed poppies,

To anyone who can offer a sound sort of sleep:
A sound sort of sleep with only bored dreams.

A sound sort of sleep with simple bored dreams.

A sound sort of sleep with boredom’s dull dreams.

A sound sort of sleep with doldrums for dreams.

A sort of sound sleep with humdrum-lulled dreams.
