most beautiful:
yonder stands your orphan with his gun
crying like a fire in the sun
funniest:
And tho I know youâre dissatisfied with your position and your place,
donât you understand itâs not my problem?
most perfect:
I used care
but things have changed

In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
Maybe this is cheating but this really is my favorite poem and Dylan won a Nobel Prize for literature so ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
I mean, Dylan was never Bob's real name but a gesture of reinvention, arriving in a new land and telling a sideways story about where he came from. Kind of like this poem set to music -- the main character seems more than a little borrowed from Kerouac and his notion of glimpsing the the sacred from the low-down perch of the profane.

But especially Tangled Up in Blue -
âBut all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blueâ

Posting doesnât necessarily reflect delusions of grandeur about oneâs influence. itâs a simple, communicative act. give yourself some credit, trust social instincts. If people had phones at any time in human history- theyâd be using them.

Ranking things out of three (no half stars, 0 permissible) is a valuable exercise. The limitations force one to reckon with the boundaries of language and the necessity of a respect for nuance. One out of three could be pretty bad..on the other hand, it's still pretty good.
