Grr

Y'know, I think people who phone in fake bomb threats to the transit system annoy me more than actualterrorists do. Especially when they do it on days when my phone's battery is dead, so I find out about it after I get home and discover green_trilobite's been having non-stop panic attacks all afternoon and can hardly breathe because his chest is so cramped up.

More Altered TTC Poetry:

Original:
shy wildflower found
peeking out from winter's bed
serendipity
seeing you after so long
a brief collision of joy

Written Vicki Goodfellow Duke for Cyberslam 2003. I much prefer this other poem by Duke; also I think poets should get points automatically deducted for using the word "serendipity."

My version:
Naked wildflower
stretched in winter's dirty bed;
Cold rumpled comfort
wakes the virgin-thin sunshine --
a brief collision of joy.
