Great Poem! Oddly enough, I'm working on a poem about Patty Hearst, also. It's about how I used to pretend being Patty Hearst when I was a little kid. Scary, I know.

collin, i thought your poem was amazing, and i'm not saying that to be nice.

the line i’d make Bonnie Parker cream her panties made me spit out my coffee; the last stanza was chilling. it reminded me of auden. as far as modern poetry is concerned, that's about as big a compliment as i can give.

can i get an autographed copy of after the poison?

How'd you channel her like that?!

I'm fascinated by her and she pops up in my poems often for some reason. My late uncle knew her...they lived in the same building after she got out of jail, and he used to talk about how totally normal she was. I always try to make his stories jive with the image I put with this post. To quote The Robot -- it does not compute.

wow that is weird. I am also working on a Patty Hearst poem. Childhood nostalgia I guess LOL.
I'm headed over to the broadside link.
