I drink,
Because my body means nothing;
And I curse,
Because my words mean nothing;
And I gamble,
Because my money means nothing;
All of it…
Means nothing…
Just like this poem.

Always good not to take yourself too seriously Lou. I mean, words, poetry, body, money…from that poem it sounds like you own a fun combination of solid things.
