A Lifelong Project

Thanks for the recommendation of Black Bag. Looks like a good watch.
A Lifelong Project basically sums up my experience in every English class poetry module I was forced into.
Well, *I* went into it knowing I have no talent and less interest in the subject, it was convincing my teachers and parents that was the real project...
