[-Brief-]

By D.C. Quillan Stone

This is a collection of short verses per random topics, written during a Kerouac-esque road trip for 9 months in 2013/2014, thus the date/location reference preceding each piece. My apologies to e.e. cummings (1894-1962), for fashioning this book in his familiar 'lowercase' style.
