A Message From Dr. Edgar Scattergood, CEO

Dear Visitor:
From his deathbed this June in Missouri’s Ozarks, the late poet Demod Smith suffered the breach of his final haiku by a fictional drunk. The drunk, a down-and-out farmer named Arnie, had staggered into Demod’s description of a shimmering meadow and was about to walk roughshod over perfectly rendered wildflowers when the angry poet threw down his pen. According to a discarded draft of the poem and its marginalia, he sought Delphic counsel from his god(s) about the drunk’s intrusion and then, surprisingly, decided to include Arnie in an all-new poem.
