This entry is not for the weak of heart.

This entry is for the wise in spirit.

You must be this tall to see this entry.

Unless you’re this tall but have the presence of someone this tall.

This entry is long and complicated.

There are many links and side paths,

many references and much too much depth

to take sitting staring at the screen.

This entry won’t take it sitting down.

It’ll stand up to you and you’ll stand up strong together

like dancers powered by moonlight.

So be powered by moonlight

when you read this entry.

This entry won’t ever go away.

No one can delete it without your permission,

your password, your username and the name of your first pet.

Heaven and earth will pass away.

heaven knows, this poem will pass away,

but your entry

which you just entered

is under the strongest lock

joined with the surest key.
