the kind of love that keeps you up at night thinking about ways to animate yourself

How wrong is it to be in love 

with a cartoon character? I'm not

talking about spending hours

wasting away online, looking up toon

and hentai sites, anime wood

from fucked-up Japanese tentacle porn.

I'm talking about love, true love;

the kind of love that makes you want to be

an outdoorsman; the kind of love

that keeps you up at night thinking about

ways to animate yourself; love

that transcends race, language, time period,

basic physics, pixilation;

love that—Damn. Ariel's pretty hot, too . . .
