@pyrrataexe sent: "You ever read any poetry? This is a bit of a rabbit hole, linda, but rock with me, eh? So I was listening to this band, bunch of... drugged out old fucks from Norway or something, who fell in love with a poet living in Washington. The... state, not the capital. Okay, so: Norse Rock Band making songs based on Washington Poet's poetry, yeah? The fucking Poet DISAPPEARED like a hundred years ago! Folks said he fell in a fucking lake or something... but that wasn't the end of it! Just recently all his old hits have started circulating and getting 'buzz' and now I'm out here reading some dead junkie poet's love psalms a hundred years out from creation, and I can't put 'em down! They're fucking... They're not the BEST poems, but they're evocative! They're... powerful, even. Yo no se, I just - You ever read any poetry?"
"who the fuck is lin-
are y'gonna tell me you've been MIA for months reading dead men's poetry?" her head ain't wrapping around any of that concept except who linda was and the jumpscare of her presence. and also.
"i am not confessing to reading poetry."
" . . . okay read me some poetry, or play some music from the Nordic fellas. drugged out old fucks usually means good music." shaking her head, patting the seat on the couch next to her. whatever the hell was going on, she ain't pretending not to be interested hard enough.
