Discovered by Eliza Callahan triggered by a poem in the middle of her novel. (Friend of a coworker) That poem can be found here: https://durationandthebodyelizacallahan.cargo.site/ - if viewing on mobile you have to Request Desktop Site for some reason, at least on Android it initially shows up as a Lorem Ipsum page

I know you didn't write that poem, but I'm 99% certain the apostrophes in "I thought about my body. It's past. It's present." have no business being there :)

Seems like it could go either way.

Might be intentional, simultaneously talking about the past and present of a body and also literally that it is past. It is present. It would not be weird to have that kind of wordplay in a poem.

But also this was from an early draft so it could be a mistake.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Swedish sort of joke-sentence you get to learn in school: "Far, får får får?" "Nej, får får inte får, får får lamm." English would be: "Father, does sheep get sheep?" "No, sheep does not get sheep, sheep gets lambs." No, google translate does not make it unscathed through that sentence :-)

Aaron earned an iron urn.

This really only gets people with a certain accent though.
