    That was, dare I say the most wonderful thing that has happened to me today. And it's 11:30pm. Not much else could happen at this point.

    Just hearing this poem being read on its own would be beautiful enough, with the animation it is just mesmerizing. Great work.

    beautiful ~ some subtle music could have perfected this in my opinion ~ though i guess you wanted to keep a sense of absurdness up in the air

    again, beautiful work.!
