The Stantonian Association of Interesting People: And I Am Okay

What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

And I Am Okay

I can hear the soft trickle
Outside my window.
It is steady and strong,
Creating a constant patter
Of pinprick collisions
Of dispersive water against
Rigid, relentless ground.

The monotony of the sound
Is enough to bore a man,
Or depress a man,
Or provoke a man,

Or to leave a man utterly
At ease.

It soothes with simplicity
In a way matched
By nothing I know,
Disclosed to my ears
In a private
Encounter with nature's
Beauty encompassed in
A profound pattern of chaos.

It is raining hard outside
And I am okay.
