My Blog = Inspiring?

I received the following email yesterday from a friend, and was insanely flattered. Plus, I love the poem! It's so creative, total props to Margaret for the imaginative revisions. God, is it possible for any of the Schwankes to be anything less than totally rad?
(PS for reference, see my Jan 10 entry entitled, "ow.")

I was given the assignment to take any piece of media I could find, and turn it into a love poem! The only rules were, you could add only 2 new words, and delete a lot of them! I wanted to use your blog from when you got your wisdom teeth out! ^_^ I think the poem is okay, but I want to know from the original author, do you like it?


Heart Surgery

I'm sitting on my couch

right now,

feeling awkwardly sore.

the same clothes

I've been wearing since Thursday.

How did I get here?

my parents have been telling me I needed to get my wisdom out this winter break.

Why does that make a difference?

I have a sort of a chipmunk effect.

They cut a heart,

pull it out,

and replace it

with a little marshmallow...

Awesome.

they were being really nice, but I really, really, really don't like pain

after they gave me laughing gas.

we were "gonna stay friends."

So here I am spazzing,

I felt kind of funny,

me sitting there sobbing with them.

that was

the

most awkward elevator ride of my whole life!

I was sort of in and out of consciousness...

Will

came over yesterday, a nice break from the monotony
he made a

super tasty milkshake,

"with love"

tasty chef boyardee.

More later

maybe


So...do I like it? more like love.
