The artichoke With a tender heart Dressed up like a warrior, Standing at attention, it built A small helmet Under its scales It remained Unshakeable, By its side The crazy vegetables Uncurled Their tendrills and leaf-crowns, Throbbing bulbs, In the sub-soil The carrot With its red mustaches Was sleeping, The grapevine Hung out to dry its branches Through which the wine will...

I Saw You Walking
I saw you walking through Newark Penn Station in your shoes of white ash. At the corner of my nervous glance your dazed passage first forced me away, tracing the crescent berth you’d give a drunk, a lurcher, nuzzling all comers with ill will and his stench, but not this one, not today: one shirt arm’s sheared clean from the shoulder, the whole bare limb wet with muscle and shining dimly...

Letter to a Dead Father, by Richard Shelton
away-abaddon:
Five years since you died and I am better than I was when you were living The years have not been wasted. I have heard the harsh voices of desert birds who cannot sing.

Dude: Oh god, what a monster.
Me: Listen, just because you love your mom...
Dude: ...

The Teletubbies Wikipedia page is a GOLD MINE.
Although the programme is aimed at children between the ages of one and four, it had a substantial cult following with older generations, mainly university and college students. The mixture of bright colours, unusual designs, repetitive non-verbal dialogue, ritualistic format, and the occasional forays into physical comedy appealed to a demographic who perceived the programme as...
