Calliope

I’m looking for my muse. Have you seen her? After searching for her in the usual haunts, I’ve decided she’s hiding from the daily onslaught of scandal, lies and corruption. I tried to keep her well with sleep and vegetables, but I’d find her sneaking peaks at MSNBC and reading WAPO. At first, I thought that might help, but for every hour she spent consuming TRMS she would spend three trembling under the bed. Maybe I need to let her go. Find a new muse with the muscle-mass of a body-builder and the goal focus of a raptor.
