How Many Spaces Go After a Period?

Pabst
like the blue ribbons in your hair
ride your fixie all the way to Dixie
Nietzsche set the arcade on fire
and I saw the light in your eyes
before it was mainstream

did I score yet?

Too much narrative. Try again.

Too conspicuously erotic. Try again.

dance by the embers of tomorrow
yearn for a cage beyond
you stretch your wings
clipped by fear
like melting crayons on pavement
of your dreams, and of dust
tread lightly, breathe deep
and cry not for yesterday
my sweet princess
we are all birds before the storm

that must be pretty good, because it made me gag

What used to annoy me was double spacing. If you were submitting anything, like a story to a magazine or a competition, you had to type double spaced. All the wasted paper used to annoy me. I think it was just so the editor could scribble stuff in between the lines, or maybe they were all just short sighted, but it was annoying.

Oh. Dear. God.

I've been using four spaces all this time.
Thank you, Frownland. You saved my life.

I very much approve of this. These are the dad jokes TH should be using.

Already alluded to this much earlier. Ignore me if you like, I don't care.
