The darkness around us is deep
People don't understand
Hamlet is a creep
I like the rockin' bands

Prayers for Garrison Keillor
And the Writer's Almanac
Nixon destroyed Cambodia
George W. destroyed Iraq

Smalltown Maryland
Lonely, quiet nights
Vegetarian pizza
Two green lights

Books in my apartment
Music, DVDs
Slowly going forward
Courage. Courage please.
