Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus
By William Carlos Williams
According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring
a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry
of the year was
awake tingling
near
the edge of the sea
concerned
with itself
sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax
unsignificantly
off the coast
there was
a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning

It's almost eleven and I have accomplished nothing but reading my Friends list (haven't even answered comments from the weekend) and doing a single load of laundry. Wow I suck. So in consolation, memes. Gacked from

And gacked from everyone, the Random Obituary Generator of Doom writes,
We regret to announce the disturbing demise of Cruisedirector, who on the 1st of May of this year was accidentally perforated by a ferocious werewolf. This unfortunate incident occurred in an anthill at Camp Fusketotulee. The deceased was reported to have shouted "Well, there goes the rest of my day..." just before expiring. Cruisedirector is survived by a yellow lab named "Scurvy". Funeral services will be held the 3rd of next month.Hee, I'll be eaten by a werewolf!
