An Internet Program

By antiScripsony

Database entry one
Two thousand fourteen
Please refer to Project Northwest
Two I drop the subject
Do I drop the subject
I'm abandoning this gimmick and this format
I'm abandoning this bad idea

The first time that you met me
We spoke a few words about television
The next time two thousand thirty one twenty four
Only 28 years earlier and not on the topic
3AM just having some fun together
Nine Nine Nine Nine Nine Zero

I'll jump off the roof
I'll dig to the subway
I'll pressurize the sewers
And if I design the bridge and oversee its construction
Will you forgive me for not laying the first stone?

Database entry two
I thought we abandoned this
That doesn't mean nothing
There's a nice little picture of myself
Directly opposite here
I'm quitting the race for the sake of myself
I'm quitting the whole damn thing

The first time we broke it off
I talked a lot of shit
A whole lot with your best friend
And when you came back
We packed it up and left
I'm so glad that we left

I'll jump off the roof
I'll dig to the subway
I'll pressurize the sewers
And if I design the bridge and oversee its construction
Will you forgive me for not laying the first stone?

I'll dig the foundation
I'll patch up the cracks
I'll sleep in the grass with you
And if there's 13 months to go
Will you forgive the rough spot that comes with it

I'll jump off the roof
I'll dig to the subway
I'll pressurize the sewers
And if I design the bridge and oversee its construction
Will you forgive me for not laying the first stone?

I put a skylight in the roof for you
So if you ever want to climb up on my roof
You won't have to jump off
And nobody will have to know

    i'll have to agree with everyone who said this is unique...what a pleasant thing it is to find something that i have never seen before...no one could accuse you of trying to be like anyone else...how refreshing

    sharp nonhazy suddenlysurreal corners... the third stanza i find mesmerically cool somehow... strong cadence underpinning the variety of original imagery here; fine write!

    I like how the structuresubect is different than anything I've ever read. We have unlimited capabilities when constructing our work, this is a screaming example.. well done..:::OLd

    I didn't like my other comment. I know this speaks to so many things . . at least, I always get that feeling from your writings. Like practically everything you've recently worried over is answered and taken care of and it's packaged up all nicely in whi

    whichever is your most current write . . I like how I can pick out threads and know that I'm relating it to the right thing . . yet see other parts and wonder what I'm missing . . I always want to understand more. I like it.
