Most Fashionable Reader: perhaps you noticed that I did not post a poem yesterday. The horror! The horror! I used my Free Day Pass — though one can get into a lot of trouble with a free day pass. I recently heard a story of a woman who received a day pass from an institution, and during her free day, she a) rented a car; b) bought a wedding dress; c) drove over 300 miles to a ferry landing; d) took the ferry to an island, and while on the ferry, got other passengers to help her into her wedding gown; and e) went to the chapel on the island where she was purportedly going to meet her groom, a man she hadn’t seen in over fifteen years. I won’t bore you with the rest of the story, but I will say that no one ever saw hide or hair of this groom, and I will say that the police were involved at some point.
Speaking of madness, I happened upon this video today. The name of the song is “Lenore’s Song,” and it’s a response to, well, Poe’s Lenore, and the video is frightfully delicious. Think The Ring, The Shining, Friday the 13th Part I, Donnie Darko, Heathers, Carrie, and The Sixth Sense all smashed together.
Paradise
[is a place where this poem will never appear again!]
