That's a good poem tho, good enough to be reproduced in full below. (PROTIP: IT'S ABOUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN BEIN DEAD)

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart! 5
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

2

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills; 10
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck, 15
You’ve fallen cold and dead.

3

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; 20
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

This is what I wrote in a stream of conscious writing on the page:

The problem with stream of conscious writing is that every so often you have to stop and correct a mistake. I find that this interrupts the though process and thus renders the stream of conscious thing invalid. Also, I had to stop just now for like, 5 minutes to think of the word invalid. It's hard to write like this, so I'm going to switch topics to that of fucking.

I love fucking. I love tits, I love pussy, hell I even love a good, clean pink asshole. Primarily, I just love to cum. I feel that sex is fantastic, and that in all honesty, no form of sex (that doesn't cause permanent injury or death) should be banned. Want to fuck a guy? Cool, that's your M.O. Want to, I dunno, suck off a horse while you finger fuck your pussy? Go for it. Sex is a wonderful thing, regardless of how it exists.

Take me for example. I love to talk dirty, I love to be called "Daddy", and I love the thought of my cum impregnating the girl I'm fucking. Nothing makes me harder than hearing a girl scream "Fuck me Daddy! Fill my wet pussy with your thick cum. Make me a pregnant whore for you Daddy!" That shit's fucking hot.

And I got David Foster Wallace. I should look into picking up some of his stuff.
