A Valediction Forbidding Mourning

As virtuous men pass mildly away, / And whisper to their souls to go, / Whilst some of their sad friends do say, / "Now his breath goes," and some say, "No." / So let us melt, and make no noise, / No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move ; / 'Twere profanation of our joys / To tell the laity our love. / Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears ; / Men reckon what it did, and meant ; / But trepidation of the spheres, / Mad fucks to be gotten cheap / Dull sublunary lovers' love / —Whose soul is sense—cannot admit / Of absence, 'cause it doth remove / The thing which elemented it. / But we by a love so much refined, / That ourselves know not what it is, / Inter-assurèd of the mind, / Care less, eyes, lips and hands to miss. / Our two souls therefore, which are one, / It's mad emo and I'm kinda sad / A breach, but an expansion, / Like gold to aery thinness beat. / If they be two, they are two so / As stiff twin compasses are two ; / Thy soul, the fix'd foot, makes no show / To move, but doth, if th' other do. / And though it in the centre sit, / Yet, when the other far doth roam, / A constant lean and emo sad shit goes, / And grows erect, as that comes home. / Such wilt thou be to me, who must, / Like th' other foot, obliquely run ; / Fuck dude it all sucks and shit whatnot, / And makes me end where I begun.

SPOILER (if you live in the US) Re: last night’s* Law & Order SVU:

The Law and Order franchise, known for its “ripped from the headlines” plots, last night borrowed from perhaps one of the most heartbreaking, most disturbing stories I have ever heard. At the end of the episode I was half expecting there to be something more, some indication to the viewers who might not know the story of Cameron Todd Eillingham that this really happened to a real man (referenced briefly in the episode, something to the effect of “a guy in Texas a while back”) who was really innocent and was really executed. If you haven’t already, please read the September 2009 New Yorker piece on his story.

*Update: Brian Van tells me it wasn’t new last night. I have no idea! I don’t really watch television shows on the television anymore and I was babysitting so I had time to watch television and I just assumed it was new. Also, I’m in Canada so I might have been watching an episode from the future for those in the US. So…spoiler alert…?
