You are clearly a genius. However, given that you are lacking an MFA, we cannot accept your piece de resistance.

The fact that you were able to take the boring life of a paper-pusher and turn it into poetry is beyond belief. Your grasp of the modern human condition and the harrowing office dynamic is boundless and what you've written here is nothing short of brilliant. <BR/><BR/>I am certain that someone better than I will come along and discover you, putting you in the spotlight and the library for all times. It can't be me because I must go now and finish lunch. But suffice it to say that I wish you all the publishing luck in the world.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703861414547309188.post-39298002860026021862008-04-10T11:34:00.000-04:002008-04-10T11:34:00.000-04:00Crazy.Crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
