Poetry written by me, Matthew Kerwin. I believe that most of this
sucks, but lots of people have argued against me, enough to convince me, not
that they are any good, but that I should post them all. And when I say "all"
I fairly mean it. I've only ever written two or three other poems not listed
here, and they were accidentally deleted or whatever a long time ago and no
longer exist (I can't remember what they were about, let alone how they went).
The blank lines in the table below represent some of the pretty
traumatic timees in my life, things like bad depression, nervous breakdowns,
and stuff like that.
Also note, the red *****'s are where someone
told me to remove all instances of their name from this page.
