I wanna read a comic
I wanna watch a character be born
I wanna say YES! at the bottom
cause I am tired of angst
and I do not have the time
to read your fucking DeadJournal
I wanna read a comic about who you are
and what you think
and why you write
not a "Help Out My Plot" poll
because I know who I am
I wanna read a game comic, a graphite comic
a no-end-in-sight comic
a Korean comic, a l33t 2 teh 3Xtr3/\/\3 comic
a fan comic, an I Love Japan comic
a No Longer Sane comic, a Why I Should Reign comic
I just wanna read a comic
I wanna read a comic about three wishes
and one young man,
about a family that's twisting
with thirst for an ancient curse
I wanna read the treasured memories of Paige
and see what happened that first eighteenth birthday
I wanna read about forever-type friends
and overcoming what drove my ancestors insane
because every story matters
I wanna read old comics and young comics
with abstract and deep pages
not thieves and black mages
because Garfield has gotten old
but not Calvin
not Hobbes
We can tell when you go on Sabbatical
and run last year's July 4th strip, just like
We can tell when you go over your hand with a belt sander
perfecting your cosplay
of a character you dreamed up more than three years ago
I wanna read a comic
where backgrounds hold perspectives
so tightly
the char designs get jealous
where the subject matters so much
I can't help but blurt out soliloquies
about my childhood on the board
because I wanna read a comic
that's got me almost punching my best friend in the face
as I argue about "class" and "good taste"
that's got me kneeling praying crying
for the curtains to close on a kiss
that's got me on the edge of my seat
with a foreign dictionary in my left hand
that pulls me into its smooth flow
I wanna read a comic that makes the Forumites scream NOOOOOO!!1!1
because I wanna lurch forward in bed at 3am and realize
a second ago...
a second ago...
I was...
I was...
Baz?
I wanna read a comic about why words
get me thinkin'
and what it is, exactly, that makes me care so much
about my friends
I wanna read a comic
I wanna feel a comic
I wanna print, crush, and inhale your comic
give me the fuckin' URL if you want it read
I want
