You hope for something better: a better girl, a better place, a better you. Cigarette smoke cuts the bitterness for a second. You squint, through the haze, trying so hard to see something in yourself. The heater brightens the room when you take a drag. There's nothing left. May as well write about it and hope to hell someone comes along to share your coffee and your life, making those damn lines mean something more than just empty scars.\"\u003cbr\u003e -\u003cb\u003e R L Raymond\u003c\/b\u003e, editor, \u003ci\u003ePigeon Bike Press\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Frank Reardon's poetry is high-voltage!
