Love that title.

Would love to read this thing, but I understand the drawer imperative.

Could read and comment. Or read and not comment.

Part of this request is selfish, of course. I've got some free time on the horizon, and I would like to have my mind bent a little by your golden trash.

Strategy has poisoned me and I'm trying to dry out.

I like the title too. Kind of sums up what I hope a poem can be.

Hey, I'd have no qualms palming a copy off on you. By "for the drawer" I mean that it probably isn't worth losing hundreds of dollars of readers fees on.

Feel like this might just be an arrow pointing to a new direction. Faint and leaner now, fuller and stronger if I keep refining it and following it.

Strategy: I hear you. The poison one lives by. If it doesn't kill you, gives you a litte of its power.
