I am a performance poet. I work in a grocery store. I am a pack-rat. I am a husband. I am a friend. I am a redeemed child of God. I am full of disorder. I am EMO! I am getting better. I am a metalhead. I am a blues hound. I am a marmot. I am an ancient Chinese secret. I am a grape-flavored vacuum-cleaner salesperson. I am cheese and I am whiz. I am Ben and I am Jerry. I am a freshly-shaved midget-ninja-eating fruit bat on crack. I am similar to few. I'm just like you. I am The Aarvark of Freedom.
