Poe 'Vices

Let she who is without crumbs cast the first Drumstick.

By River and Celia in Underland Published 10 months ago Updated 10 months ago 3 min read

Dear Poe,

I recently broke up with my girlfriend after five years. I feel lost, like I don’t know who I am anymore without her. I’ve tried journaling, hiking, even therapy they tell you to do at grad college, but nothing’s working. What do I do?

– Hollow in Halifax

I HAVE The THOUGHTS. Lots of dems. Thoughts I means. And I has a mantra. Wanna see?

Looks 👀

-Chickin be love.

-Chicken be life.

-The floor is be lava, 'less it has de crumbsis.

-If you stare into the void, the void will offer snacks. Hi snacks. Iz Mez.-Poe underland

Mamma says I’z “a lot.”

But what she dunna understand me. I iz a lot but not allot like she saysis it.

I am emotions. I am velocities. I am the echo of a scream inside a cupboard. And I dos stuff toos. Lots of stuffs.

Likesis:

  1. Running. Just… running. Coz.
  2. Biting the air. It be toughs. Basteward.
  3. Licking things that definitely aren’t food but might be spiritually food. Gorra finds outs, rights? rights?
  4. Climbin' curtains like they insulted my ancestors. Coz theys probablys dids. More bastewrds.
  5. Sitting on the laptop coz iz warm and I iz cold. De end
  6. Also: I have never once completed a thought. I leaves them 'round the house like tiny emotional landmines. You’re welcome mama. Nuggets.

Anyways I love you.

Wait. No.

WAIT.

I hearts CHICKENs.

OKAY BYE.

No.

Wait.

Ok bye.

Give me chicken

    Well-wrought! Edgar would have been delighted to be reincarnated as a cat, or even just to have one named after him!

    Oh, goodness. That messed with my speed reading - Tell Poe to leave his brother and sister alone; he's shaming them🤣 Poe looks just like Bonn's Dutch. Matter of fact, I think they may know each other, since they act the same🤣
