It's crazy how you can bear your all in writing and yet have no one even take a second glance.
It's interesting how all of the fiction is checked out of the library, and teens greedily soak up pornography, television, radio, but never travel to the neglected poetry section. Not a second glance is given to the brightly binded books that dwell right in between the fiction and nonfiction....right next to religion.......
