Wrote a very serious poem about racism. Tore it up. Wrote another serious poem about racism. Tore it up. Wrote another and another. Tore them all up and made a bonfire of my piety in my wastebasket. ( Note to self: Never forget that there's a smoke alarm in my man cave).

There, I thought, I feel so much better.
