But turns out he is also a genius. He wrote a 224 word poem that is also a Palindrome. A Palindrome is a word or a phrase that can be read forwards or backwards and it's the same, take racecar for instance. But anyhow, his is 224 words long, I cannot imagine how much time this took but I'm so glad someone took the time to do something so amazing yet so pointless. I got this from Pastemagazine.com, and here it is. (sorry if the light profanity is offensive, but great writing shouldn't be censored)
Dammit I'm Mad by Demetri Martin
Dammit I’m mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I’m a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I’m it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
“Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog”
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I’m mad.
woah. I looooove this palindrome awesomeness that is a poem.
