[Todd]

soooo I'm sorry if this is more of a rant than anything else, but hopefully it'll draw some smiles. I've been feverishly (literally) churning out poems today... hopefully I won't be too embarrassed by them tomorrow. ;p

If you live with food allergies,
live by these tips:

Never go out to eat. Your waiter will hate you;
[ind] you’ll hate the menu.
You hate your siblings/spouse/kids for their boundless options;
[ind] just accept it.
Don’t accept food from potlucks, parties, or strangers;
[ind] you’ll simply invite suffering.
Never invite yourself somewhere close to mealtimes;
[ind] you’ll go hungry.
Go hungry, when grocery shopping;
[ind] it makes your choices look better.

Nice to meet you, let’s commiserate!

I thought about someone I read awhile back that you may like. Have you read Sandra Beasley? She has a collection called Theories of Falling (which is all good). There's one long poem called Allergy Girl that was especially good. I can only find portions of it on the net or I'd send it to you. She also wrote an autobiography called Don't Kill the Birthday Girl. Just wanted to pass that on.
