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.

Black Lassie is a novelty song I heard first in fifth grade on Dr. Demento, written by stoners, which features a questionable origin story, a bad Johnny Cash impersonation, and a Wah-Wah pedal.

Which is to say: it is my anthem.
