{what's that Latin word for happy accident?}

so I was trying to fix something formatting-wise on the blog (like why are all of the links down at the bottom now?) and of course messed up something else and all my line breaks disappeared, gone, smooshed together.

and I think maybe I like this poem better that way. thoughts?
