It's been 72 days since I was dumped on this God forsaken planet, left to lanquish in clefts and in the horrid black caves of planet 24-L-666, a rogue desolate planet located some 46.3 billion light years from earth. My crime: I stole the classified documents from the vault of the Iron Sanctuary, the records kept by the Blue Pepsi Clan, an organization run by demented biologists who had taken over the world some 700 years ago when they had defeated the contenders for world power, ' The Lizzard Spit Mutants.' I had discovered that the whole human race had been genetically altered and the human vocal cords had been rendered incapable of speaking certain vowels but an electro magnetic operation could restore the original function of the voice box. In the secret of night, I snuck into the lab of the Iron Sanctuary and performed the forbidden operation on myself, and the slipped away into the night. I could now speak the words but kept this knowledge to myself. I returned to the compound where 12,000,000 genetically altered humans were kept under guard. Every species of animal and insect were incorporated into the human DNA and studied to create the perfect species who would be eternally incapable of uttering the fofbidden words. My brothet-in-law for instance was transformed with the face of a wild boar with the webbed feet of a mallard duck which actually was an improvement on his former appearance but those details must be left to a future journal. The whole 'human race was forced to wear dull gray uniforms with a stamped number,and forced to exist on nothing but artifically coloured waffers initially designed for rabid cattle and certain dangerous strains of the common house fly. My compound roommate would hang from the ceiling with suction cup feet and buzz in insect language the seven laws of the Hydrogen atom but nobody really cared anymore. So here I mull around on this hellhole of a planet because back on earth I was overheard by a Blue Pepsi agent speaking the forbidden words. And really..what was my crime? I simply said a few words. I said, 'I love you.'

Dear Jim,
666 and the last days come to mind reading this. You could put all your poems together into a book, they would make a great story, and be a best seller, you have such a fantastic imagination. Super read.
