Poetry Comes, for Stephen Yenser

This work is dedicated to Professor Stephen Yenser and other professors at UCLA who gave me the tools to become a real writer. Yes, Life loves the fur right off your stuffed rabbit body before you, like the Velveteen Rabbit, can become really real, however without Professor Stephen Yenser I would not only not have the tools, I wouldn't be alive to use them. Thank you, grazie mille, merci beaucoup, Σας ευχαριστώ, Stephen. How's the family?
