Your & Our Sentences

Robert Bly is so kind to take this—"my sentence was a thousand years of joy"
—as a book title.

With me, I'd be like:

I pardon you all,

professors and teachers of mine,

past and present,

for sentencing me to this

fate. Thanks a lot, Blood-sucking Elders.

No resentment here.

I, a gadfly, only. Corrupting, more and more.
