Here's some fun poetry! Its a sample from a poem called "Lesbos."
-------------------------------------------------
Viciousness in the kitchen!
The potatoes hiss.
It is all Hollywood, windowless,
The fluorescent light wincing on and off like a terrible migraine,
Coy paper strips for doors
Stage curtains, a widow’s frizz.
And I, love, am a pathological liar,
And my child look at her, face down on the floor,
Little unstrung puppet, kicking to disappear
Why she is schizophrenic,
Her face is red and white, a panic,
You have stuck her kittens outside your window
In a sort of cement well
Where they crap and puke and cry and she can’t hear.
You say you can’t stand her,
The bastard’s a girl.
----------------------------------------
And that, dear friends, is what happens when crazy people write poetry.

Of course, the chances of me ever meeting a cute girl who plays D&D are slim to none, but, they do seem to be out there.
