AND NOW, this 25th day of April, 2012, upon consideration of the pervasive degradation of the English language, the Court hereby DECLARES that the Court of Common Pleas of Centre County, Pennsylvania is an Oxford Comma friendly facility. Legal documents that fail to incorporate Oxford Commas shall be met with displeasure, disfavor, and derision.
Thomas K. Kistler, President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Centre County, Pa. (via officialssay)
By the time you swear you’re his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying —-
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and the longitudes.

I Remember
By the first of August
the invisible beetles began
to snore and the grass was
as tough as hemp and was
no color—no more than
the sand was a color and
we had worn our bare feet
bare since the twentieth
of June and there were times
we forgot to wind up your
alarm clock and some nights
we took our gin warm and neat
from old jelly glasses while
the sun blew out of sight
like a red picture hat and
one day I tied my hair back
with a ribbon and you said
that I looked almost like
a puritan lady and what
I remember best is that
the door to your room was
the door to mine.
Anne Sexton
