<p style="text-align: center;">(I found this pic and wish I could credit the artist. It&#8217;s real cool.)</p>
<p>The last few days I&#8217;ve been a little crazy. I&#8217;m sorry, and I mean it. I just hope you don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m an abject cretin.</p>
<p>Since all we share are words, maybe if I post a couple of poems you might think better of me.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;ll have you know, I&#8217;m going to have to dig deep into my punk rock heart for inspiration. So I hope you bastards like my stuff.</p>
<p>Your friend,<br />
