Don’t shout. Be nice
Cheer up. Sit up
Straight. Don’t play

Crust
Stop fidgeting
Stop scratching
Close your mouth
When you chew
Remember to
Clea

You're all I've got to keep me company, but it's a very fine company. So familiar, and warm as any cold digital fireplace. I can tell you've got more in your story, but it doesn't make you happy. I really do not feel well today. Fun I wanted to…

I'm writing you this letter played on a cherry flute. I'm sending it along through the poem's cloud of incense. The only delivery system I still hitch up for long distance pitching. I'm writing you a letter you'll probably never read. Never…

He embraces me warmly
wanting us to be friends
I give up trying to resist
