五言绝句

[erf_]

I accidentally wrote a 五言绝句 on Twitter today.

Seeing apartments,
strange people in mine.
It is hard to work.
I am without peace

"Oh, please," cries the smug fuck, "that's not really a wuyien jueju. You totally missed the point of this ancient and elegant poetic form, you cultural appropriator."

Fine, smug fuck. Have it your way.

找房陌地去

I know nothing of classical Chinese poetry, but one thing I've noticed: as long as I've known you, you've been your own worst enemy. Even taken jokingly.

Salaam alaikum.

Ain't it the truth. Manifesting myself as a pretend split personality, at least, gives me the means to defeat myself.

Also it is amusing.

I am reminded of the video game/anime/psychonauts/Scott Pilgrim phenomenon: and now, you must defeat yourself in mortal combat! Obligatory self growth scene to level up power to over nine thousand. Over nine THOU-SAAAAND!

MIRROR MATCH.

Rond one. FAAAAAAAAITo
