"...because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

g r e y i s m on July 11, 2005hello
I was just in a poem which I had critiqued at an earlier time as being, well... incoherent due to improper word usage. I was looking through the comments and saw yours, clicked on the link you provided as an example of good word usage, and realized it was one of mine
so I thought I'd let you know I am flattered and appreciative of that.
