OH MY GOD I FOUND THE POEM

[essbeejay]

Went digging for some TFR fodder and oof, my drive did not disappoint.

A long, long, LONG time ago I mentioned a poem I'd written from the Professor's perspective about the Girls, dated 2003. 2003. Fourteen years ago.

It isn't good. But that's why this is a tfr post and not an actual, for real posted thing.

Filename is beautiful.txt, because in my youth I had no gift for subtlety.

they came with me once to a symposium
a gathering of men smarter
and greater
than i
and like any other
young, impressionable creatures
they prattled around
they sat
they were quiet
they laughed
they smiled
and i smiled back.

i found myself speaking
with someone who probably
thought
he was a great man
(but i knew better)
he asked me what they were made of
(twice he asked, and twice i answered)
he still didn't quite believe me
he did say it was amazing
that they could fly
and i smiled and said
"i know"
it was amazing
they could save the world
(at such an age!)
and i smiled and said
"i know"
it was amazing
"i know."

a shame, though, he said
and i didn't know
he said they act just like
normal
little
girls
(and that i knew)
and it was just a little
weird
wasn't it?
because they looked like
that. . .

and all i did was smile
(a little sadly, he didn't know)
and i said
"i know. . .

. . . aren't they beautiful?"

CRINGE. Dull, dry, maudlin. Certainly poetry at its worst.

If you subjected yourself to that, you deserve poetry at its best. (And an apology. I apologize.) Let me make amends by offering you a palate cleanser, one that I often look to as inspiration for the Professor's feelings towards his Girls.

Hey! Im a Fan~

Hi, can I ask you a question? Will you continue with the story "More Than Humans"? I started reading it in fanfiction, and I came here. I dont want you to feel pressured or even forced. It doesnt matter if I have to wait four more years, I just want to know if it will at least have the end it deserves.
Thank you for reading! Kisses, Maggie ~
