Author notes
"8 poets.
20 minutes.
10-40 words.
Prompt:
'I'm a crack headed low-life, I teach your kids to do weed.
I just talk to a jungle beat and its all for the greed.'"
Not my favorite. The prompt didn't do much for me.
"nice as in pissed off" = what my boyfriend said to me ten minutes ago when i inadvertently snapped at him--"i need to write, dammit!"--after he complimented me. i felt bad but andrew took it all in stride. he's been quietly reading his lit studies assignment since i started typing. we shall have a normal conversation as soon as i finish this. =]
