Damn Young Poets

When I was a kid, there weren't any teaching positions or awards or publications -- it was all an attempt to convince someone to sleep with us. Those were the days. Those were poems you could get naked and crawl into bed with.

Bionic, hmm, maybe I will expound if Chicken Tyrant allows me the time. I'm doing laundry now. This morning he thought it would be hysterical to both barf and crap on me.
