About

Whether you view the long-dreaded/anticipated End of the World on December 21st as Predicted by the Mayans as fun, folly, blasphemy, balderdash, weird, welcome, or the best PR opportunity Mexico's had in years, you can't ignore it. We figure, even if December 21st turns out to be just another day, December 22nd deserves a VERY special poem. And maybe YOU'RE the person to write it!
