Uncle Tom’s Cabin Essay
Throughout the text, Harriet Beecher Stowe continually places women, particularly mothers, at the heart of conflicts surrounding slavery, using their stories as examples for, or as the voice of morality and compassion about the issue of emancipation.

I’m selfish enough to want to get better,
but I’m backwards enough not to take any steps to get there.
Enough steps backwards.
I’m selfish

To take,
To get any.
I’m better there.

Fuck my life.com:
Everyone is going
To be saying it.
* Not as a website
Or conversation starter;
As an expletive.
*
I am telling you,
I have already heard it
More than a few times.
*
After a long night,
Before a worse afternoon,
While the alarm rings.
*
Not shit, balls, or damn,
Not what in the name of God,
Fuck my life.com.
*
Mark my words.

I have to pee.
Ok. Lets try this again.
I think my ankle might be broken. A hairline deal, something you can only see with xray that slowly decreases your chances of reproducing. I hope I don’t reproduce. My lips burn. Not the good kind of burn either; Chipotle was very disappointing, I must say. Too much rice, not enough cheese. As a general rule, there is never enough cheese. It’s weird...

Homophonic translation with whole words
Ariel by Sylvia Plath
Stasis in darkness. Then the substanceless blue Pour of tor and distances.
God’s lioness, How one we grow, Pivot of heels and knees!—The furrow
Splits and passes, sister to The brown arc Of the neck I cannot catch,
Nigger-eye Berries cast dark Hooks——
Black sweet blood mouthfuls, Shadows. Something else
Hauls me through...

First verse of Across the Universe by the Beatles:
Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup They slither while they pass They slip away, across the universe Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind Possessing and caressing me Jai guru deva om Nothing is going to change my world
