    THIS is something that should be taught it schools. Show me more Miles Hodges, Anis Mojgani, and Maya Angelou. No not just during black history month either. You don't confine Robert Frost to a month do you?

    I've been checking his poetry all night and I just knew he was inspired by Anis Mojgani somewhere along the line. This confirms it.

      Fucking love Anis! Him having inspired Hodges wouldn't surprise me.

    By any chance, was this poem inspired just a tad by Shake the Dust by Anis Mojgani? I hear mild similarities at the end that bends my curiosity into believing it to be so. Great poetry as always btw.

    This isn't as poetic, but dear general relativity is a more literal version as (assuming that you spend most of your time right side up) your head is "older" than your feet.
