Not to be like 'everything reminds me of them' but I got this random poem during a paid survey I took today (I dunno what the poems had to do with it, don't ask me, I just wanted the sixty eight cent payment lol) and I just:

THE HOUR-GLASS

by: Ben Jonson (1572-1637)

Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass, By atoms moved. Could you believe that this the body was Of one that loved?

And in his mistress' flame playing like a fly, Turned to cinders by her eye? Yes, and in death as life unblest, To have't expressed, Even ashes of lovers find no rest.

#text post #also just really like this one i have to say #probably gonna lose a little bit of time to that poetry website now that I have my current draft done #of a fic that randomly threw itself at me this morning and wouldn't let me do much else until I had it down #I popped it over to discord to see if anyone wants to give it a test run and see if it's Something or if i'm losing my touch lmaooooo #hopefully not but I did manage to sneak some surveys and other chores in around the writing so even if it's not as good as I'm hoping #I still got something done fkdljafjdsakfj
