Romantic Poetry in a World of Scientific Workshops

[Leanne]

I wanted to do that once, but people who should have thought it mattered thought it was about something they already knew, and stopped the world from changing. Instead, they call poems about periods and pubic hair 'brave' because you don't have to think about those things, only feel them. 'Feel' supersedes 'think'. We want to be primal, poet, don't take our chemically-enhanced emotions from us. We don't care for how cold you are.

But people are the plague we must endure, so I took the sleeping pill and wrote limericks until the future forgot what I wanted to know.
