compliment

I got this in my MySpace inbox the other day. It made me feel terrific. The best compliment i think i’ve ever gotten.

my name is [DL] i am the younger brother of [SL]…now [SW], but i just wanted to say that you wrote a poem and i found a copy of it it started out “each life a letter under an indigo envelope”, anyways i just wanted to say that was one of the greatest poems i ever read in my life, and by the time [SL/SW] told me you wrote it you were already gone to florida i think. anyways, good talking to you i always wanted to tell you that. i actually used that poem for a class in college and we had to memorize a poem and resite it, i picked that one. i hope you are still writing and i hope life and your travels have treated you well.
[DL]

Shame, i don’t even remember the pome. (SL/SW is a girl i used to hang around a whole lot back in The Day, during the grunge explosion and my pizza-slangin’, pot-smokin’, free-wheelin’ heyday. DL is her younger brother. I always liked him, he was a real fun guy.)

About jeremy

x jeremy jarratt is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) He is currently unemployed, although he has plans. BIG plans. Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though he's quick to point out that he's no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist. This is his latest home on teh internets - where he stores his swear words, when he's not hurling them at the sun in vain.
