Projectile barfing and sticking needles through grass hoppers seemed to be high on the list of accomplishments. <br /><br />Anyhow, I really like this audio site. It's important to me to hear a poets words. Helps me hone in to what they think is important. I suppose I haven't really heard anyone read their work poorly or with histrionics (except for a Paula Cole song; but maybe it was the times)<br /><br />btw: sometimes I respond quickly to comments on my blog and sometimes I wait.

My sister and I would grab the Morton's and throw handfuls on the slugs, then watch, with amazement and delight, as they wizened up and died.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-24589436172446851162010-08-31T23:03:33.879-04:002010-08-31T23:03:33.879-04:00You're welcome for the AJJ, I thought a lot of...You're welcome for the AJJ, I thought a lot of that poem and not because I found it. <br />The first one here, I'm reminded of Elisha and Elijah.
