When people talk about Tumblr in public...
My Professor Wrote Me A Poem
Contrition
(for Sam L.)
We all carve
our own pumpkins
with the fixed principle of
a kitchen knife.
But behind each fierce face,
rictus of the jack ‘o lantern,
melts a simple candle,
cutting its own life short,
its light flickering,
yet still only as bright
as it is humble.
( I think its pretty awesome.)
