finding the right place to start


is this the right file?

i think i've spent an hour looking for my introduction.

apologies, i think i was supposed to start this one off with

dear diary, hello hearty, how you doing today, teach says

a letter's supposed to be like a conversation with yourself but

it would be great if i could gander at the grading scheme

shit.

that was two directories ago.

if i could figure out where she stowed away all of your

characterizing features, fifty adjectives finally filed in 

alphabetical, alphanumerical, it's just alphaheretical,

order--i'm slowly cascading down every file folder--

to be able to put you in order, i would be asleep by

did i delete that one?

if i left your bastardized brother unsaved, she's not getting

any assignment in by tomorrow. give me a letter to write,

right, and we'll both just end the hour knowing you're staying

burried in our graceless graveyard of patronizing paragraphs

'cause you've overflowed onto the other odesseys of overdone

wait.

is this the right file?
