looong story short- my right shift key is jammed on my laptop, and i am way way too lazy to actually stretch my left pinky to my left shift for capitalization purposes. way too lazy. hence i told a friend that my writing was e.e. cummings-ish or nikki giovanni-ish. this got me to looking through reams of poetry (yes, i had my black eyeliner, black clothing, poetry reading phase). forgot how much i love nikki giovanni. so, here is to nikki giovanni and her complete and utter disregard for capitalization ;-).
i wrote a good omelet

by nikki giovanni
i wrote a good omelet…and ate
a hot poem… after loving you
buttoned my car…and drove my
coat home…in the rain…
after loving you
i goed on red…and stopped on
green…floating somewhere in between…
being here and being there…
after loving you
i rolled my bed…turned down
my hair…slightly
confused but…i don’t care…
laid out my teeth…and gargled my
gown…then i stood
…and laid me down…
to sleep…
after loving you
how gorgeous is her writing/// those should be question marks by the way, but the energy to stretch that left pinky is simply too taxing. heehee- really.
