#i have never in my life heard tumblr spoken of outside of this hellsite

[madrewrites]

you know sometimes i forget that tumblr actually exists outside of tumblr

and then i have a professor bring up - during a lecture - the mushroom post and 'you cannot kill me in a way that matters'

and i remember that the circus has an audience

#i got whiplash #poetry #tumblr #poets on tumblr #you cannot kill me in a way that matters #mushrooms #i have never in my life heard tumblr spoken of outside of this hellsite #and it not be immediately ridiculed #and to now have it brought up #at my university #in my class #as a legitimate academic study of poetry #no thank you #the stands are full #the circus has an audience #and i stand backstage #in my clown costume #watching #hoping i won't be recognised
