ok, so there's no free pants, but i had to get some attention so somebody could read the little poem i wrote while sitting here at work. its called "today"

today i'm not a word, but a whole book
stopped spinning and tried to take a look
today i found the devil crouched in my room
looking like an angel and holding a broom
wanted to sweep my memory under the bed
and try to pretend it was all in my head
today i learned that life is a game
of prisons and ladders and losing your name
today i am free to run around in my cage
to suffer the indignity of my lovesick rage
i'm not an escape but an objective desicion
wound like a clock and executed with presicion
today i learned that i'm still alive
today i'll grin and bear it and not even try
today i am yesterday and yesterday's gone
today i am the poem you make into song
today...
once dissolved we are free to grow...

    That was a fun poem and totally appropriate for writing at work.

    sigh

    satan always looks like an angel on payday.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
