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.

Tabula Erasa

Reality goes pallid.
Someone once said that when you are reborn
you can see your breath
and gaseous spirit expiring
brilliantly
The sky is alight and shadows
are the only color.

Sound surrounds completely and
the light is mute. I can’t hear
what you are saying
I can’t hear
“Fear is the mind-killer?”
(but no fear resides here)
it won’t go, something surplus
disappear
and feel perfectly still…

Breath came and shone white
it refuses to leave
because nothing can move
I feel no attachment—liberation
The silent flow slows.

“Oh,”
says nobody. “Are you the monitor,
Death?”

    "a case, one supposes therefore, of deliberate abstinence, of tabula erasa."

    Searching tabula erasa on google produces a few results, this site being the first, and a history book with this quote. ^^

    I like the poem.
