The premise of my new poem 'After the Next
- The premise of my new poem 'After the Next Word: Nothing' is a complete lie and we all know it but you're going to buy it anyway. I really need the money. Boats are not free.
- Many, however, did not appreciate spending $16 for a title and 32 blank pages. Others began to refer to him as the John Cage of Poets. A few spoke of a secret page 33.
- Some even segued into whole doctoral theses on Cage's influence in the gaming industry, citing the overly average character in Mortal Combat as an extreme move to the avant garde.
- Our new game had to beat out the old ideas. We gave the characters new skins featuring horror themes. Eight eyed beings with no mouth or nose & long serrated blood encrusted claws
- , kind of like Auntie Viv, but with less blood. Another character for our game was deathly pale, wore a long cloak, and carried a scythe. Its crimson eyes burned like hot coals
- and bright green ooze dripped from behind its pointed teeth. It was inspired by my uncle Jerry after the incident at the power plant. We added in a few more characters, including
- a dancing bear-man with the tail of a beaver who enjoyed long walks on the beach and sipping pineapple soa out of a coconut. We named him Steve. He was always my favourite.
- But childhood memories of happier times are not going to sustain our living. It's time for us to go to work and earn money. I can't always dwell on silly things like dancing bear
- -s, but when I have a job, I can imagine grizzlys kicking up their hairy feet in a chorus line, while simultaneously making big bucks at the expense of my boss. The Mordor account
- stated similarly in their most recent issue. It was globally recognized for decades to come because of the absurdity of such a job, and the breakthrough in technology.
