Christmas poem to a man in jail<br /><br />hello Bill Abbott:<br />I appreciate your passing around my books in<br />jail there, my poems and stories.<br />if I can lighten the load for some of those guys with<br />my books, fine.<br />but literature, you know, is difficult for the<br />average man to assimilate (and for the unaverage man too);<br />I don't like most poetry, for example,<br />so I write mine the way I like to read it.
