glad you felt like it

status check - surprised
background ambiance - television

imagine my utter shock to find a new simplesimon waiting in one of my endless email inboxes. new simplesimon poetry was always a highlight of my day - i was exceptionally disappointed when he stopped sending them out, but kept all of my old copies to look back on.

appropriately titled "i don't know, i feel like it," the latest is lovely and painful - also demonstrates precisely why i enjoy his work so much.

have you ever been entranced by a distance and a phantom
by a lovely that has eyes that you know will only damn
your hopes and implications
of the things inside that have only ever grown

indeed.
