Poetry of James Brown

---

As a warning: there may be obscene language or graphic visions in these poems. ie... not for young kids.

Heh, don't be distressed, I am perfectly fine. I often find it easier to write about the painful things. The beautiful things I usually paint. These poems often reflect half truths - exaggerations of real life experiences. (For example, I am neither a heroine addict nor a schizophrenic. I think.) So take them for what they are: works of art and feeling - hopefully an interesting description of the world around us. Enjoy.
