I don't entirely know why I'm going to insist on sharing these with you guys. I don't get many responses and the ratio of worthwhile to not is in favor of saving myself the effort.

Anyway, here's the poem mentioned two news posts ago:
(By palming the mind you've fingered the senses)
Hold That Thought

Opposability is the crux of our touch.
. . Though its digital duplicity allows also to feel
. . . . . The real.

Indexing eyes verify, but, despite physical ability,
. . Now, to hold the pen, a picture's worth: (I've heard)
. . . . . 1.0 x 10^3 a word.

Middle-man hears the word on the street and so he brokers
. . Opinion. Listen, even a bold-faced lie holds a grain of the true.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Fuck you."

Ring on your finger displays personal taste in your two
. . Favorite people, traditionally. If you know yourself well,
. . . . . Your choice can tell.

Pinky thinks he links me to my word. Maybe so, though I
. . Swear it correct that my tongue tastes a muffled yell
. . . . . Without smell.

Five, for thee, too, won
. . Nothing.

The periods are there just to preserve spacing. The assignment was to write a poem in which the five sense are used.

O RLY?

Feb. 26, 2008 | 6:41 PM Evark responds:

He doesn't like you. I don't like you either.
I'll be careful.
YOU'LL BE DEAD!

"Pinky thinks he links" was quite the tongue twister when I said this out loud to myself.

What does it mean? Does it mean anything?

Feb. 27, 2008 | 10:51 AM Evark responds:

: ) I liked that pinky part.

RE: Meaning? What do you think? I was commenting on how there's five senses and five fingers. In the same way our mind employs the senses our hand employs the fingers.

Really though, what do you think it means?

O EVARK?

Feb. 28, 2008 | 12:22 PM Evark responds:

You like that?

Feb. 29, 2008 | 4:39 PM EyeLovePoozy says:

That's pretty cool Evark. Good job you fucker you.

Feb. 29, 2008 | 5:19 PM Evark responds:

Thanks man, I'm glad you like it.

Mar. 1, 2008 | 12:02 PM Eggys says:

I love that. Just like I love you.

Mar. 1, 2008 | 12:34 PM Evark responds:

How ambiguous of you.

Mar. 2, 2008 | 9:16 PM BaronVonBadGuy says:

Oh, I really like your afro, I don't have curly hair like you, but I do my best to have a white persons afro.

Mar. 2, 2008 | 10:34 PM Evark responds:

It was the "Oh," prefacing all your posts that made me feel like you were joking, so even though I don't know how to take this, I'll just say thanks and respond normally.

But yea, that was definitely the height of the 'fro. After that length my hair started to just look sucky more than afro-tastical. So I've since cut it back to normal length.

Mar. 2, 2008 | 11:14 PM BaronVonBadGuy says:

I was definitely giving you a compliment, don't mind the "Oh." I've changed a lot since the last time I was visiting Newgrounds, I've built up my own way of talking which is usually very bland, repetitive and straight to the point. Not just online, but in my real life as well, when you come from that kind of a perspective it's easy to say sarcastic things that other people won't pick up on. The downside is that it can be hard for people to tell when you're not being sarcastic.

But I've already divulged too much information.

Mar. 3, 2008 | 7:12 AM Evark responds:

Ah, coolies. I've got the attitude that I can just always assume someone's being friendly online, because even if they're not I don't have to give a shit and have pre-emptively avoided provoking them anyway.

So yea.

Mar. 3, 2008 | 8:26 AM satanbrain says:

Wwwwhat?

Mar. 3, 2008 | 9:27 AM Evark responds:

SAY SOMETHING!

Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:44 PM Eggys says:

I'm gonna add you on AIM.

Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:45 PM Evark responds:

Don't bother. I probably won't be on for a long time to come. You can feel free to PM me if you need anything though.

Mar. 6, 2008 | 11:04 AM satanbrain says:

-\YOU IN THE BLACK LIST/-

Mar. 6, 2008 | 9:42 PM Evark responds:

Why? And don't disillusion yourself. You can't do anything to me whatsoever.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 2:09 AM Evark responds:

Dunno. Definitely something I would attribute to something coincidental.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 8:23 AM satanbrain says:

well, you just doin your job.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 11:10 AM Evark responds:

I cannot believe I logged on here last night and coherently responded to a comment. I was absolutely hammered.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 7:11 AM satanbrain says:

i influence bad on mods ;)

Mar. 9, 2008 | 2:53 PM Evark responds:

Nah, my drinking certainly has nothing to do with the internet.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 12:29 PM TropicalParadise says:

I was waiting patiently for you on MSN and AIM and you never came on, I guess you were serious, that makes me sad :(

Mar. 9, 2008 | 2:53 PM Evark responds:

Ha ha. Sorriez. I'm sure within a year or so I may get bored and return to the IM services, but for now I'm liking the lack thereof.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 8:18 PM MinusNick says:

I love you Evark!

Mar. 9, 2008 | 8:44 PM Evark responds:

Thanks. Right back at'cha, big guy.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 8:30 PM Zerok says:

okay what's your preferred method of private contact?

Mar. 9, 2008 | 8:45 PM Evark responds:

PM. Though you also have my permission to use and abuse my cell phone. Number's on my facebook.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 8:35 PM SevenSeize says:

*claps enthusiastically*

Good job man.

I never knew you were such a great writer. :-)

Mar. 9, 2008 | 8:55 PM Evark responds:

Hah, thanks. I've always enjoyed the challenge that poetry presents, in that you have to fit your concepts into some sort of form in order to present them. Of course, now-a-days most poets eschew rigid form in favor of unexpected insight.

The next poem I'm going to post should be pretty interesting. We've got an assignment to write one in a regular meter, so I've decided I'd write a sestina. Coincidentally, there were 6 people chilling in my room the night I started it, so I asked them for a word each that I was going to use for the six repeated words. To give you an idea of how ridiculous it may end up, the first word my wise-ass friend gave me was "lumpenprolitariate." So if I manage to pull this off, I'll be pleased.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 9:47 PM usafddh says:

Ya'll gots a bitchin' afro.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 9:51 PM Evark responds:

Thanks, unfortunately it's long gone.
