Professor Chill, a cool-ass nickname I bestowed upon Speed star Keanu Reeves, participated in a Reddit AMA on Monday morning that, among other things, revealed him to be a thoughtful spinner of words. Childhood, George Carlin, breakfast—nothing is too mundane for Reeves to weave. The title of his first poetry book? Reeves Weaves.

MOVE OVER, ROBERT PINSKY OR WHOEVER ELSE IS GOOD AT THIS STUFF. PROFESSOR CHILL IS COMING FOR YOUR JOBS AND YOUR TITLES.

A poem, forsooth, on the theme of happiness:

Not sure what to drink tonight? Let's have Professor Chill give you a few beautiful lines on mixology.

"But also
in the afternoon
sometimes a nice ice-cold beer
with a chilled glass."

Keanu tackles animal favoritism:

An ode to chocolate milk:

It has to be... cold.

On life's pleasures, guilty or otherwise . . .

Reeves ended his AMA by thanking his audience:

Update: Thank you everyone for spending some time with me. It was great to spend some time with you.

I hope all is well. I wish you all the best. See you down the road.

See you down the road
Said the poet Professor Chill
Would you read a book of his poems?
WELL, YES I THINK I WILL.
