Hey—I saw you reach for the mouse.
Don’t you dare skip this post because you don’t like poetry. Stay with me.
I’m not a poet. I don’t play one on
TV. I haven’t studied poetry since I aced my British Lit class in
1993. (I’ll do the math for you. It’s been 20 years. 20 years? Please excuse me
while I hyperventilate . . . )
