hmmm. Where do I begin? The fact that I haven't written a post in an embarrassingly long time? I still haven't finish PAD? I have too many things in my head to even churn out a well written blog post? I don't know. On the brighter side, I have tons of ideas in my head for poems and stories and real life happenings that can be put here, I just haven't actually taken the time to sit down and type. You wan't an excuse? I'm lazy. I'm busy. My fingers are tired and can't possibly type one more word. You just tell me when to stop.
But anyway, I finally can reveal what piece of literature my found poem came from!
That short little poem came from an old book that I found in my house when I was doing history one day and I recognized the name on a small black leather bound book. The Carnegie Steel Company Pocket companion, circa 1923. If you are not familiar with Andrew Carnegie, He was a successful business man in the steel industry in the early 1900's. The book we have was a handbook that the workers would carry when they built the railroads. It has lots of mathematical formulas for building the right pieces and knowing what goes where. It's practically incomprehendable for someone who has no understanding of 1: engineering 2: extreme math and 3: engineering like vocabulary.
But it is very entertaining to look through, and possibly, find a found poem.
Thats all for this short update, and I promise I will have some real posts soon.
