Do cats pass trauma onto their kits?
Do dogs dream of where they would roam?
Do you think a dolphin could learn a trade?
Do you think a monkey could fix a phone?

Maybe we've known, and I just don't,
I'll look it up at the end of this post
but an answer is only the start of the thread.
Did you know elephants mourn their dead?

And dolphins have language,
and pigs can play Pong;
Well, not exactly,
though may not be long.

And crows get recursion,
crows can make hooks.
Crows have good memory–
could crows read books?

And speaking of crows,
do they long for new nests?
Cuttlefish and them
pass the marshmallow test.

Bar biomechanics, I think we could find
things taken-for-granted, took as divine,
around and in-waiting, escaping the mind.
Someday, soon, a matter of time.

THE AGONY OF BEING PERCEIVED hypersus THE FLESH DOES NOT KNOW BUT IT FEELS IT, IT'S MADE TO, IT MUST, IT ANCHORS AND YET IT CLAWS, A REVERBERANT CRAWLING, IT LINGERS, IT STAYS, IT HOLDS FIRM AND IT MOVES ON A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SKIN, UNDER SCARS, INSIDE, IN PAIN, IN REMEMBRANCE, IN FEAR. IN HOPE.

To me the writing feels like a mixture of Bo Burnham and Dr. Seuss. So basically, Bill Wurtz. Yeah, these could be the lyrics to a Bill Wurtz song, with vocal harmonies hitting on the words at the end of the sentences.

This could be a pretty decent vocaloid song in a style like Twinkle Park's

Thanks for sharing, this is cool. I kinda get like a song from it, like I hear it to a song that doesn't exist.

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.
