so here i am wondering why i post poems. i don't write much anymore, but i do it. the stuff near the top are just words as they come... as you go down the list it's distilled a bit into what i considered my favorites at a given time.

my name is jonas downer, i am presently pursuing goals that secure me a financial foundation while i weather this capitalist weather. i quietly hope for a basic paradigm shift in the thought of my brothers and sisters of the working classes of the world that will allow the people of the world to co-exist in a way that is a little less ridiculous than at present. however, i am discouraged because i believe i am in a very small minority in considering that the way that human's interact is ridiculous.

anyway, it's hard to take myself seriously when typing on this expensive electronic device from the state of california where my biggest worry is getting up in time to get blueberries from the farmers market a block away. humbug it all.
