You are seminal American modernist poet WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS.
Go play some Satie on the gramophone, pet the cat and then eat some plums.
Was a humerous take on the poem, I adore!
Not because of its aesthetic but because it creates a very interesting discussion about genre and what is a literary object
This is just to say
by William Carlos Williams
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
"This Is Just to Say" I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast. Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold (William Carlos Williams)

The pettiness of humans optimised- whether it’s familial feuds or thwarted lovers, sometimes these manifest into these amazing cool houses. I’m obsessed with the stories behind these houses!
