by Gavin M Roy
After years of intermittent development, eMuse is almost ready to launch. As part of this transition, pathetic.org will be shutdown and will redirect to eMuse.org.
What you need to know:
* No accounts will be automatically created
* No content will be automatically transferred
* When creating your new eMuse account, you'll have the option to import your data from pathetic.org
We look forward to welcoming you to the new platform.

Poem of the Day for 11/03/26
from the sidelines
by Kristina Woodhill
the halls are wide enough
at least
minds bounce off walls
out of bodies bundled, crumpled
a-jerk, a-kilter, beyond dystonia
no one is stoned here
in a Jimi Hendrix, guitar-smashing sense
nothing is staged, it's one constant
descending
riff
tripping
drumming
exercise
fading here, the guy with bright blue football team sheets
blurring notes, the malformed young man
pointed in his comfy chair at the big aquarium
by the front door
by the pretty plump chairs
by the pretty solid-wood end tables
by the perfectly matching wall paper
inviting we who still see
to imagine
a lovely, lovely time to be had by all
wide-eyed fish circle
mouths mouth what I strain to hide
their oh, so rounded silent screams
wide-eyed fish circle
never see a soul sit
in those pretty chairs
trace the pretty scrolling
of an end table's fine design
discuss with hushed admiration
who picked the pretty paper
on the matching foyer walls
where side-stretching halls
are wide enough
at least
hand rails horizontal trails
puppy dogs floor-click toenails
furry therapy
room-to-room
unconditional
wagging
of tails
wet tongues match wet slobber
match all that's left is love, luv, lub, uv,
goofy smiles
here in
dizzyland
unbalanced rock
space for-just-one-more needle
what a trip we're on here
where the halls are wide enough
at least
