"So instead I stop & wonder ...

If that cloud was full of pain ..."

What? You do? Is that what you wonder, Jess?

One of my favorite ongoing series is Jess' posting of "Bad Poetry" she wrote when she was a teenager. They are delicious. They are earnest. The poems speak of the tragedies of life ... and they are written by a 14 year old girl. Hilarious.

Here is her latest.

Ha ha, thank you! Isn't that AWFUL? I am astounded by how profound I thought I was.

I feel her pain. Sometimes tears just need to shut the fuck up.

Jess - I just love that you kept all of these! How many notebooks did they fill??

I have about two notbooks full, and then about a folder's worth of sheets of paper. I could probably post these for the rest of my life.

Lisa, ha!
