Paean

I am a terrible poet but my sentiment is heartfelt

In some old bio, I saw your picture;
It was the size of an Easter Seals stamp.
You look a little like Bruce McCullough -
That was enough for a two-day-long crush

Tristan A. Farnon, your bendy an'mals;
Tristan A. Farnon, your ASCII dongs;
Tristan A. Farnon, your chatlog in-jokes:
Foulmouthed articulate, stupidly great.

Tristan A. Farnon: your juvenilia,
Had it deleted but some has escaped.
Tristan A. Farnon! My juvenilia
Haunts me from Google; yours doesn't bite.

Tristan A. Farnon, downtrodden artist -
I found the Dilbert Hole, saved it to disk -
Tristan A. Farnon! You are astounding.
Won't you come over and teach me to swear?

The ascii dongs would do it. I met a girl Tristan, she had just turned woman and had raging estrogen than made her thighs large in a magnetic way. She looked a lot like Alice in Wonderland, no doubt beautiful now after the winds of time tamed hormones. Her parents worked for the CIA, but said that they were in the import/export business which accounted for their erratic lives.

I found a way to get back the censors at work and actually read TIH on my breaks. Yea!

When I read that "Thank you and goodnight," I went through stages of grief. There was the (gay) disbelief. No one would ever again see Winter Pageant, Utterly Useless, or Dog Messiah. Bitter (and also gay) weeping. Where now would I go for dongs and wangs that spurt and squirt? And eventually came the (aidsy) acceptance. Thank the powers that be for Jerkcity.

Now its up to us to remember Leisuretown--kinda like the way Guy Montag had to remember that high school reading list in Fahrenheit 451, only less (more?) gay.

I, too, choose to interpet LT's closing as a sign Tristan got a job or a girlfriend or something. Possibly the greatest artist of the twenty first century. The internet did not deserve him.
