My poem is on page 1634 of 3785. It goes like this:
Anodynes changed from bark
The anodyne of the belle,
I trudge during summer beyond
His essence is still his essence
What the hell is that? An anodyne?

Haha. Seriously.
I'm actually being only half-serious. Shit, someone took a lot of time to put together that "magazine." Can you imagine?
It's nuts. I really don't get it. Someone actually wrote these poems too--
