Laziness. - 3/5/2001

    Dear Neil Armstrong,
    I'm sorry that I haven't written you in so long. These days, I run around so much I have barely the time to read all the letters you send me, let alone reply. Currently, I'm sorta drafting a new letter, which I may or may not send. I want to spill some ink about my latest escapades, but we'll see how it comes out. But for now, here's a poem I jotted down today:

      "Cafeteria Memorium"

      Half known people and acquaintances
      mingle and buzz all around
      I sit with my stylus and scribble
      half forgotten poems and e-nothings
      whilst falling in love with passers-by
      and my belly aches dull from bad food
      and good character
      grease gathers on the glass
      scratches subvert the surface
      and I observe, unaware
      all hoping for someone to know

    Take care for now Neil, and keep making footprints!
