It's hot today,
hotter than normal,
and my back is sweating,
swearing up and down
like a longshoreman.
Sometimes I hate the heat so much,
it makes me want to throw up,
just so I can feel some sense of relief.
Maybe I'm too much a grump,
or some other assassin of happiness,
but either way,
I fucking hate the heat
on days like this.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
