Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?

This room I have known
For three years is torn. Now
An inexorable pit of silence. Only
They can feel that. You
And I have no patience
To bear the burden of coexistence. Only

I wish I was Rachael Ray. You know, a smart ass in a swanky studio set who gets to hobnob with some of the most important personages on TV. You can rant and rave, be a raspy kook or, cook a "Pizz-O" for . . . more

2. I mind what you read.
3. I am a 5 ft.-7 in. leap of faith for all your religious baggages.
4. I am an abominable 145 pounds frame of hard-to-miss sarcasms.
