ESSAYS
Rants about how I would change things
if I were Queen of Everything... or
just creative blurbs no magazine would
probably buy, so I put them here.

to belting the blues or celebrating
existence, Americans have a sad case

up from the American Dream.
An
Open Letter to Advertisers
- I'm not above auctioning off my
body to the highest bidder.
Quantum

victrola - This is an
essay I put on my Neutral

here may not see, so I added it here.
