The paragon of posterity:
faked suicides in
one hundred forty
characters or less,
always less.
One hundred forty
acts of heroism,
slaying the beast of
boredom.

Right...here goes...I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds great! I'm quite ashamed at how way-off i'm going to be, but, going by the title, does this have something to do with twitter, and how its so time consuming and, in effect, kills bordom? Please don't laugh, because I really haven't got a clue. Your wording and flow was lovely as usual, and, as crypic as I found it, the poem was irritatingly appealing...anways, PM me and give me insight into inkwell's brain, would you? I know this wasn't of much use, but I did like your poem.

-Use digits for numbers greater than ten.

Other than that I like it. I don't understand the first part of faked suicides, but I do like the second part. Why less though? Anyway, its a bit dramatic but a funny idea. If you have any questions PM me.
