hey, I'm matt, a jazz poet caught on an electrical wire. i'm exposed like a raw nerve and smoke cigarettes. i'm in love with diet coke and Irene Dunne. if you make me fall in love with you, i'll capture your heart with words, limp letters and stroke yr soul with broken sentences. eventually, our love will end as i'm a highly jealous guy or will get tired of you, thus i'll be forced by fate to write sad, static sonnets regarding your frozen moments in the bedroom. it won't be personal, don't worry. i'm really just interested in eternity right now. everything else is shade on the sun, dig? god bless. matt young
