if i didn't care

Can a creative person
have no trauma in his past?
Does head trauma count?
Or a toxic river?
I learned to swim in sludge.

What doesn't kill you
~~makes you stranger~~
will try again later.

2012: Poetry readings become the new flash mob.

Woman.
Woe man.
Whooooah man.

She was a thief
You gotta believe
She stole my heart and my cat.
