... and if it has to do with, um, current stories, I'll send it over to you.

Um, and this week I sat down to write, and there was just too much going wrong.

[laughs] There was just too, too much stress, too many stories that were too relevant.

And, um, I remembered what I had been talking about with some Finnish friends of mine and saying that it was like playing Whac-A-Mole at gunpoint, and I was like, "Oh my God, I'm trying to write a poem, and it's like playing Whac-A-Mole." And so that was where it, it came from.

It started with the Whac-A-Mole.

Well, why don't you go ahead and read it?

Sure.
