If you wouldn't mind scanning this little piece real quick and get back to me with your opinions,

[kayakjohnny]

I would be so grateful.

Give it a minute. It really picks up steam.

Thanks.

1. as freedom is a breakfastfood

or truth can live with right and wrong
or molehills are from mountains made
—long enough and just so long
will being pay the rent of seem
and genius please the talentgang
and water most encourage flame

as hatracks into peachtrees grow
or hopes dance best on bald men’s hair
and every finger is a toe
and any courage is a fear
—long enough and just so long
will the impure think all things pure
and hornets wail by children stung

or as the seeing are the blind
and robins never welcome spring
nor flatfolk prove their world is round
nor dingsters die at break of dong
and common’s rare and millstones float
—long enough and just so long
tomorrow will not be too late

worms are the words but joy’s the voice
down shall go which and up come who
breasts will be breasts thighs will be thighs
deeds cannot dream what dreams can do
—time is a tree (this life one leaf)
but love is the sky and i am for you
just so long and long enough

4. There's a really egregious misspelling about 3/4 of the way through

It just ruined the whole experience for me...

5. I bet it was paragraph 473, wasn't it? I thought the same thing.

6. AAAAHHH!!!!

[Bossy Monkey]

7. Eliezer Yudkowsky... wasn't he in "Hair"?

I gave it a really really really quick scan, so I thought it needed vowels.

8. I preferred the introduction

You can play with the pretty graphs.

9. It really picks up steam.

I missed that part.

10. Ha! Guess I was being too generous. I think I really meant humidity.

I'm dying to hear from Random Thoughts on this one.

I bet he could make sense of it.

And boil it down for the rest of us.

Hey Random!....

Are you out there, bud?
