i LOVE...your short poem they rock...very awesomeness.. wow.. i must say wow again..i want to say it over and over.your a great poet by far..
Heather -
Ah. Your shorties are spectacular.
On a completely unrelated subject... I smell pot in my apartment. Since no one is smoking the stuff here (never do) it must be coming from another apartment. It is making me nostalgic. And sort of wanting some, too. Ah. The good ole days.
Really, though. I love your shorts... you should write them more often. Just cause you are good. Damn good. Remember me when you are a famous poet. Please?
Love ya.

ever refused to accept that you're crying?
you can only come out, when the tears are dry.. hence the dry voice asking.. the wet voice replying
