This one is for everyone who will NOT be smugly ’starting out 2008 debt-free’
(I hate people who can actually say that - don’t you? Oh, it’s a jealousy thing? Really? Fancy that.)
Considering the schizophrenic economy in the U.S. and elsewhere, I imagine that many of you will be able to relate to this piece.
Sim Stafford, meanwhile, is a poet, musical genius, and guru to yours truly (and a great deal of other people as well).

Please, look away! I am a hideous
sight, undeserving of your attention
to my diction. It is insidious

Leaving me a beast that no one will kiss.
