part 276 show me potato salads

Jun 21, 2011 17:56

Hi meme! How was your weekend? I got to keep a constant vigil on my cat on Sunday while the family was over, so she didn't dig into the hamburgers and hot dogs and sweet, sweet potato salad. Oh that scamp. Always causing a fuss!

View flat!

Enjoy part 276!

"Everything's gone into hiding. Buried itself in the ground,
So winter will feel it's victorious, in charge.
The tulip sleeps in the bulb. And the earth will not reveal
What the white roots are up to, lying in black ambush.

My toads too are asleep between two summers,
Their breath gone quiet under the sheltering soil.
In vain Jack Frost-that sullen sleepwalker-goes in pursuit
Of secret thoughts of spring.

Between two darknesses, like the gold of toad
Eyes, my heart sleeps: Nothing can touch it,
Patiently it saves up their opening to the light.
While winter thinks it's victorious, in charge."

E...

E-EVERYTHING'S GONE INTO HIDING...!!

ricepaddle June 23 2011, 03:58:54 UTC

I haven't.

latvianxious June 23 2011, 04:05:30 UTC

Buried itself in the ground?

ricepaddle June 23 2011, 04:08:53 UTC

[ Looks down. ]

No, I'm quite above ground right now.

latvianxious June 23 2011, 04:12:03 UTC

...

This is extremely disorienting! I'm really confused!

ricepaddle June 23 2011, 04:15:43 UTC

Oh! You got one right! You do look confused!

Much better than the hiding and buried guesses, sheesh!

latvianxious June 23 2011, 04:24:36 UTC

But you told... saying it again, remember? The poem? Something about the flu?

ricepaddle June 23 2011, 04:34:50 UTC

Oh. Right.

The first line of the poem was just so POWERFUL that I forgot what I told you to do!

latvianxious June 23 2011, 04:39:49 UTC

Oh! Of course - I understand completely! Very compelling. Would you like me to start over?

ricepaddle June 23 2011, 04:44:46 UTC

You should recite it.

Backwards.

Wouldn't that be even more artistic?

latvianxious June 23 2011, 04:48:22 UTC

I! Think that would be disrespectful to the poet and also to my sanity.

ricepaddle June 23 2011, 04:54:44 UTC

... Wooooooah. You stand up for poets more than yourself, huh?

latvianxious June 23 2011, 04:57:48 UTC

To be fair, she was one of my poets, so in a sense...

ricepaddle June 23 2011, 05:00:36 UTC

Hmmm.
Okay. Fine. I'll give you this one.

[ CONGRATULATIONS LATVIA YOU NOW HAVE ONE EXP. POINT AND YOU NEED 49 MORE TO LEVEL UP. ]

latvianxious June 23 2011, 05:22:36 UTC

Does this mean I have the potential to get other ones as well?!
