update: smuffy is officially the coolest person ever.
Allen Ginsberg, with a splash of me:
I saw the universe sometime last week
As she stepped off the platform and into my nose
I said to myself
Hello heaven, I think i'm dying
And these thoughts aren't helping much either
These thoughts of yesterday and what I can't bring back
These thoughts of st. peter and st. nick and the saint in my mirror
These thoughts of well-worn sneakers and new socks,
Brought together by the strangest of fates
And now the mirror looks at me
And I move like the reflection I've become
Hello heaven, I can't take much more of the wait
And slowly the water in my cup becomes a part of me.
And the music from the next room rings like a tuning fork
Click click click click
From the clock
And the buttons that need pushing
And the stars in the sky pouring into my eyes
This is the Now! this is Eternity!
These are the milliseconds of your life!
Onetwo.......... four million.
Don't waste it away. This I say
A man not prone to action
But I digress.

I heart Allen Ginsberg - he has this offhand way of writing that is so wonderful
there is the same sort of offhand energy in your words - I like
