blowing thick

Stuck
Pipe Drunk,

Really cool!

"actually going

Been there, brother. Still am, sometimes. I like this poem, and am surprised no comments.

I also like that you aren't hemmed in by 'rules' or conventions of word placement.

I'll be reading more of your shares.

Way to go,

Invierno

Stark, striking, and delivered in fine style. Yep, the old 40 yard stare. Know it well.

This is really interesting, because I started of reading at a slower pace because the smaller lines implied it to me, but with every line it picked up faster like a small rock turning to into a giant snowball.

I wish I knew what the 40 yard stare is... The only thing I can think is just zoning out. That I can definitely relate to. The "space cadet".
