i don't know if this is my favourite poem, but i do really love it. it is absurd, it is beautiful, it makes me emotional -- i think that's all i really need to feel with art. i've spent a long time trying to get into poetry, but i find it really difficult. olivia gatwood is a poet that i really love, she's got a few really amazing spoken word videos from button poetry from early in her career up on youtube that are really great (although, she was never compensated in any way for those videos, which is a bit of a shame), everthing she writes is really great, really recommend picking up a copy of her collection 'Life of the Party'. somebody else that i know, used to say their favourite poem was 'High Windows' by Phillip Larkin, which is also very, very beautiful.

Jesus got up one day a little later than usual. He had been dream-
ing so deep there was nothing left in his head. What was it?
A nightmare, dead bodies walking all around him, eyes rolled
back, skin falling off. But he wasn't afraid of that. It was a beau-
tiful day. How 'bout some coffee? Don't mind if I do. Take a little
ride on my donkey, I love that donkey. Hell, I love everybody.

When the bar or venue or whatever is underground and you have to descend into the place because you can say some shit like “We are entering the seedy underbelly of this wicked city” “You know,” *cig drag* “crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.”
And then your friends can be like “Viv, you can’t smoke inside Dude also where the fuck did you find a pipe and a fedora What are you even saying” Giving you the opportunity to respond with a
“Beat it toots, you’re too pretty for these streets anyhow”
Then you remember your friend already offered to pay for the Uber XL home and you have like 11 bucks so you drop the bit but the sentiment is still there below the surface
