I found writing this piece incredible fun.
and I think it turned out well(forgive the periods, i have to have it setup this way as an intro to the next reading{also, [center] sucks :P}):
.........................in discreet words
..........and an apple is lost
......................to a bi-folding
.....................page
.around the edges of the
.......................skin red
.................the taut and thin when
......................with exactness
...............everyone becomes
.......................the dust
.......................and
.............................-in our
..........................in discreetest-
........................our words
......................'melt
.....................away'
........................the
.....................earth with us
...................passes
Enjoyed it? Well, now read it like this: the left lines of the stanza and then the right lines; as in read each stanza, one at a time, but in the stated manner:
.........................in | discreet words
..........and an apple | is lost
......................to a | bi-folding
.....................page |
.around the edges of | the
.......................skin | red
.................the taut | and thin when
......................with | exactness
...............everyone | becomes
.......................the | dust
.......................and |
.............................| -in our
..........................in | discreetest-
........................our | words
......................'melt |
....................away' |
........................the |
.....................earth | with us
...................passes |
:O Enjoyed it twice?
comments if you wish, but thank you for reading overall.
(sidenote: try to imagine it as appearing down the center of the page, typed on typewriter. it's just harder than nails to get this thing done right with {center])
