I’m Used to Weird

Posted on November 14, 2024 by sputterpub

I’m used to weird. A cuckoo in the nest,the black sheep in my family, who veeredaway from their conditions on my quest,I’m used to weird. A beatnik when the hippies all appeared –an anarchist against all guns – unstressedwhen solitude … Continue reading →
