Foreword

First off thank you for stopping by.  My name is Sycowalt, and I am both webmaster and editor of this online chapbook.  For those of you unfamiliar with Catfish and his work, sit back and prepare to be educated.  What's it all about?  Raw emotion.  Honesty.  From anger at an unjust, uncaring world to the love of things greater than one's self, Catfish feels it and puts it on paper to show.  His words hit you like a sledgehammer to the crotch, but in the end leave you mello, and sometimes giddy, like a smooth bong hit.  Enjoy.

Dedication

"Thanks to all the mags where these words have appeared or will."
