1. I find cannibalism intriguing 2. Bee stings 3. I haven't heard that speech that every boy needs            to hear to be a man 4. The love that bottlenecks in your throat when someone dies 5. I have to be heavily medicated                 to enjoy my life        and it feels like cheating 6. A tube of toothpaste, all squeezed out 7. Raising a second generation in my hometown                 It's this place          That keeps me down 8. Jack the Ripper shows                when I'm home alone 9. I've read every Sherlock Holmes            and I am jones-        ing for another                    story to make me think 10. Same God, different names 11. Is language to blame                   for misunderstandings            or is it just human failings Faith is a frail        old woman               feeding her 1,000 cats      1,000 separate bowls of milk 12. The class of 2009 13. When I drive home at night             I pretend to be someone else        singing along with the radio 14. Ghosts of friends that walk right through you 15. Maybe the past never really happened?      Maybe I was someone else back then? 16. Men             Who leave me and fly off to              Never never land       Boys, not men             Who don't want to grow up yet             and probably never will 17. Ladybugs
