In the throes of postholiday depression, I was just remembering the majesty of Claude Tanner's pre-suicide poem on Degrassi High. If Caitlin hadn't slapped him, maybe now the actor David Armin-Parcells wouldn't be a washed-up Canadian child star working as a wine buyer in Troy, Michigan, and he'd be able to participate in the Next Generation Degrassi with Snake and Spike and the gang. Let's take a moment to remember, shall we?
Autumn Leaves
Dying Leaves
Season of DEATH!
When winds blow cold
Thoughts of death creep in as I sleep
I dream I'm in a coffin
Safe from the life I don't want to lead
I'm not afraid
Soothing, black and warm
SOOTHING, BLACK, and WARM!
Safe from the pain
And safe
From the fools
Safe, soothing, black.
You rock for posting this.
