Walker Percy




But since neither of these methods of recovering the dogfish is pedagogically feasible---perhaps the great man even less so than the Bomb---I wish to propose the following educational technique which should prove equally effective for Harvard and Shreveport High School. I propose that English poetry and biology should be taught as usual, but that at irregular intervals, poetry students should find dogfishes on their desks and biology students should find Shakespeare sonnets on their dissecting boards ...

Now it feels good

I'm plainly enjoying life and all its quirks again
I'm proud to say that I survived the flood
and now im a stronger swimmer
and walker and dancer

I'm having fun again, perhaps more than before
At least, I feel excited again
to experience everything I have not
My days are full, and so is my heart

I am full of laughter, and confidence and excitement
Excitement for whatever comes next
old friends, new poetry, black clothes, and new panties

New panties make everything feel better
like your ass.

I've got these fresh eyes
They arent afraid
they get drunk and lost but never alone
These fresh eyes are looking for the next fun to run around
They are not tired, but fun and confident and hopeful
Energy and Laughter and Dance are new verbs
revisted verbs, I dont remember ever having someone to dance with
..now I dont need anyone to dance with.

I don't need anything
I am.
right now, I am and thats all

and Tiger Army is and will always be, so I'll get a free tattoo.
NEVER DIE
