[Thespiritexpress] Poem

[Ed Balldinger]

This poem hits me right in the tissue box, Riantee.  For crying out loud -
yeah, just what my soul needs from time to time - like a good cleansing
around the dirty edges.  Thanks for poetically expressing this with the
precision of a fine glass cutter, hmmm...
