Matt, I have a question. I'm having dinner with someone very important to me. I'm reading her my recent work, but I want to read her a poem that is beautiful & by someone else. Can you think of one you've read lately that is gorgeous?

..what the heck was your assignment? metaphors that are bizzare?

i assigned them to look at banksy's website explain how the pieces serve as an argument. it was a lot better than i had expected, kids were coming up with all kinds of crazy interpretations. i think i'm going to stick with this one.
