You're a Writer? That's Sad.

You still read Milton?
I read, once
that the fire dies
the minute the sulfur
leave the air.

I read, once
that wine is fine
whiskey is quicker
but suicide is slow
with liquor

I read once,
Paul de Man
but now the
name seems
just familiar

I was thinking about the good old days when I used to spend hours fragging on the Quake 2 servers. How many people used aliases that were literary heroes? I actually thought about going back to Quake 3 and calling myself Hemingway, or Milton.
