"concrete in half-life", jeez, pisces, where'd you come up with that one??!)<br /><br />we have a love of taking tired clichés and making them all new. it's a hiphop kind of thing, i think, that most poets and editors today just don't get! each poem you write is an act of revolution, pisces. i too am feeling more and more ripped off everyday! down with these "dealers" and "agents", i say! a stunner, as usual! ~lt xoxoxoLaura Tattoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503853041054419287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23064466.post-78533794342000610442009-07-26T09:51:07.557+01:002009-07-26T09:51:07.557+01:00I like the way your mind works.I like the way your mind works.T - Another Geek Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750336108614026360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23064466.post-62432048951988775112009-07-26T08:25:05.769+01:002009-07-26T08:25:05.769+01:00AMEN!
