alone and palely loitering

So... that was emotionally draining.

I decided to watch the movie Bright Star instead of doing actual poetry work. It's about John Keats and Fanny Brawne! That's practically like doing poetry, right? Right?

Um. Well, now I'll be useless for the rest of the evening.

To outrageously stretch the spoon analogy, it's like opening up the silverware drawer thinking "oh, yes indeed movie, you will help me polish the spoons" and three hours later you look down and the movie has made off with not only the spoons but also the cutlery. And the silver polish. And you don't even care, because that would require spoons and the damn movie stole them all.
