This is a poem that I wrote recently.

I have never written much poetry before so I was surprised by how good my poem is. At this point I'm thinking that I should consider this whole professional poetry writer career more carefully. Perhaps, that would be a good way to make some money after graduation. So feel free to read the poem but please don't post it to this Napster thing until I have looked into the business aspects more extensively.

In Love

I am most thoroughly
Enamored with your nose.

In this world
There is no other
Equally delectable little knob
Of flesh and cartilage
As yours.

To conclude your proboscis
Is a place
I want to place
My kisses on.

	A little long, but I like it... Flying though a haze of thought Shimmering visions here-dissapear Precious moments ride the wind Here-not-here, in one heart's beat Summer, Winter, Life and Death A vicious cycle round and round Blurring sight and raising dust Hiding the whole, the outer track Question not Let it be A worthy cause A dream in life All things end Enjoy them now Experience Attenuate Let it grow Fed from us Nothing ends in all true sense Existential phantoms still The spirit, soul, the inner truth The life lives on, in other forms The mountains fall, but do not die The rivers rise, into the sky Life moves on, beyond our sight But never gone beyond our grasp Never ask Always tell Shape the void Give it form Live a dream Make it so Create Shape Exert your will Craft your dream Twisting, turning, drawn by light A jagged path, no clear direction Lost within, an inner maze Shifting walls, a transient hope No clear goal, no single exit Success and failure indistinguished One step forward, in a different light Is twisted now, two steps back Live, just live Don't look ahead What you see Won't be there Do what's right For now, just now Maintain Survive Improve today To ensure tomorrow As a child I wanted to know everything. Now I miss my ignorance.

	Dear Mr. 27: Thank you for your recent submission, "In Love" for publication in Luminous Void: A Poetry Journal. Unfortunately, we are unable to publish your poem at this time. While "In Love" shows an admirable economy of language and thought, it fails to speak to the most pressing issues of our time. If, for example, you had written to your love that you loved her nose, but had to go ruminate on the evils of corporate logos or on the need for debt relief in Vanuatu, things might have been different. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Ima Potree Snob
