I see your prompt, and raise you a poem that has nothing to do with it. Please enjoy:
When the end of days arrive,
By Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin, will the chaos drive.
When magma springs from sacred rock,
To the bunkers the quackery shall flock.

A man with a triangle has but a single job.
Though his sight was such a shock
He began t...
As Arianne dusted the busts on the mantle, she thought of her grandparents. Not because they looked like the old men carved in white, but because the glamor of this place would have sickened them to their core. She was raised to be like them: minimalistic, only having the bare essentials. These people, though … Arianne had never been surrounded by such glamor. The lights above her hung in crystal ...
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
Don’t tell me I’m right
I don’t want to make choices
That determines death or life

Laughing one waved a doll over her he...

I’m only doing this for mum. I’m not accepting any money. My mum’s health hasn’t been great and what kind of son would I be than to leave her to own devices. I would rather be out there with nature, with the wild, with the spirits. But here I am cleaning this… ridiculously exceedingly unnecessary place.
How many cups does an increasingly immobile and socially awkward person that is my mum need? T...
The touch of the sheet on his fingers was like falling into a blancmange. A memory of Irish moss mixed with almonds and cream, a thought process lurking in his limbic system, older than his years.
Cold and crisp, yet also soft and silken, a forgetting and a remembering at the same time. Curious.
A sense of travelling over continents and time. Without knowing how he knew, he remembered that whited...
