As this is my blog, I decided to put them here. Ignore them, if you will, but you'll miss out on some fantastic literary creative work :).</p> <p>This poem was actually about the strip of plastic at the base of a bus window, the bit which keeps it in place. I was looking at it on the way home.</p> Fri, 02 Feb 2007 03:49:04 -0600 elliot comment 13405 at http://townx.org http://townx.org/blog/elliot/5_minutes_of_2007_01_29_19_hours_late_perspectives#comment-13371 <p>i have no idea - what is it with you and poetry all of a sudden, bro? is it some sort of middle aged thing i have yet to experience being a whole five years younger?</p> Thu, 01 Feb 2007 11:03:50 -0600 clux comment 13371 at http://townx.org http://townx.org/blog/elliot/5_minutes_of_2007_01_29_19_hours_late_perspectives <p>My theme for this one was taking an unusual perspective on a commonplace object.
