The Cyst
By Joy Lynn Clark 9/8/2020 I have had 3 cysts in my lifetime. A cyst is like a large blemish that grows over time. The first cyst I had was on the back of my neck. My stepmom kept swearing that I had a , “goiter “. It sounded gross but the thing was fairly small and I had hoped that it would just clear up. The thing got bigger and bigger.

Since I decided to speak about the things that I like to do religiously I wonder, is it appropriate to declare that I am non-religious? Also, should the new byline be titled: God et al never u ever?

Dumb Dumbs
By Joy Lynn Clark 8/13/2020 I made This song some months ago in quarantine. I was set up in my laundry room and it sucked. Nevertheless, it came out all right. I decided that I wanted to rock just a little bit harder, so here’s the new one.
