No,
really. I go in sprints, see...a few weeks solid spent reading anything
and everything I can get my hands on, then a collapse into a kind of
vegetative state during which my brain absorbs all the phrases and
pithiness like a bathmat made of forest moss.So, yes! Right now I am most properly classified as Bryophyta. I crave dampness and low light. My skull is filled with small hillocks of soft green which lack a vascular system. But I'm a'fixin' to shoot me out some spiky little sporophytes! Which might only make more hillocks, but at least I will have accomplished something. Oh yes.
Perhaps I will join a mossery, and spend my days being moistened in a British garden.1

This post, translated into Japanese and back again via piscine linguistic algorithm, then punctuated and arranged as pseudopoetry:
Calling to obtain, really.
I in the short range running...
the solid matter of several weeks the book-reading
which consumes with what and you.
Look at that:
it can do to all phrases like the bus mat
where all my brains have consisted of the forest moss,
a kind of plant state where pithiness is absorbed by my hand.
The fact that collapse is obtained, it enters.
Therefore, to be!
Now I am classified securely as Bryophyta.
I entreat the humidity and low light level.
My skull is full gently with hillocks,
where the green which to pulse tube system has been lacking is small.
But I'm a'fixin' In order to shoot me,
small sporophytes where ahead is it became pointed!
Perhaps, it makes just more many hillocks,
but either one as for me achieves what, at least.
As for Oh: it is.
Perhaps, I connect mossery,
pass moisture my day with the English garden.2
