A moment in time

That cannot be erased

A memory etched

That won't be replaced

That night I won't forget

The intuition which is mightier than my wit

When I feel bitter discontentment
I take out my poision pen to immortalize
The ones who have crushed
Me with their 
Gigantic, concrete boulders

Just like a stale ASPARAGUS SANDWICH!

"TELL me about yourself"

From her life as...
