here's a couple more.
among my favorites:
something i remember from eighth-grade english, though i have no idea who wrote it and google is turning up nothing:
and, there's something i've been trying to find again for ages -- it was posted on a bulletin board as part of an exhibit of some kind when i was in high school, and i wrote it down (thank goodness; i know it's somewhere, somewhere, in my parents' house), but again, i have no idea who wrote it, and i can only remember bits here and there. it's about being adrift -- now i am splashing about in boiling bitter coffee; steam rises ... i think there's some more here, but i can't remember it i am burning my fingers and toes. i am dizzy. it's mostly that, but the bit i always remember is voices tell me i must learn to take my coffee black and pungent. but i know as they speak they bathe in rippling pools of cream ...
A man said to the universe:
"Sir, I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
"A sense of obligation."
