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.

Wrapping A Gift

Perhaps she'll enjoy
This gift I've gotten.
As opposed to the icy
Facade I've become
Accustomed to.

This paper refuses to
Fold neatly over the
Suggested shape of
The feeble box.
Damn paper.
Why must you crinkle
With rebellion and
Crease in murky mischief?
I think only to thwart
My desperate effort,
For I need, I require,
I so sadly desire
That she see this gift
As perfect.

And now I tie the ribbon
In a foolish way,
In lurking loops held
Loosely by a clumsy knot.
And though it's not picturesque,
Though I'm sure she could expect
Much better,
The thing is wrapped
And the knot is tied.

    I read this before, and I liked it.

    I think its very... existential.
