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.

Conversations

“Love.” Did I let it slip?
Uncomfortable with that, are we?
Consider it fodder for awkwardness, your despicable pet.
You sicken me

With that smug chuckle.
Laughter better suits the sincere.
Shed the cloak of artificiality.
Stop hiding

Behind this cloth of your creation.
I much prefer your face to this mask,
Sheer, solid, porous, impermeable.
Let me in

To that brilliant world you call a mind.
Let me feel the tremors of your heart.
Give me a chance to knock on its door,
Invite me

To stay awhile, take a seat, observe,
As glimmers of faces, whispers of words
Loosen my grip on reality.
You make me dizzy

With the beats of your passion.
Spiraling helplessly, a victim of hope,
I pray to the foggy heavens that you may
Find my dreams, hidden in your eyes.

    I quite like it. My favorite thing is how the end line of each stanza flows straight into the next one. The brevity is compelling in such lines.
