Vintage Poems from an Optimistic Teen Punk

In the '80's, I was a punk, a poet, a depressed romantic and an existential optimist. If I could have had a blog, this is what it would have been. I offer it as a conduit to yesterday. It's not all good, and you might not always like me, circa 1980's. But please be forgiving. I was only 12 when the decade began. YOU get to be the voyeur to a radical teen's not-so-radical journey, through love and pain and occasional Duran Duran references. You'll want to stick with it - it's infectious.
