Mantra 99 for A. Joe by Thomas Lipschultz 7/3/99 I am a vindictive plumber. I went postal as a postman. I played the markets and lost. I exterminated and was fired. I was a prison snitch but lost my voice. As a janitor I was washed up. As a salesman I met only death. As a carpenter I couldn't build a career. As a technician I crashed. As a landlord I got locked out. I am still a vindictive plumber. Why am I vindictive? I stand in a green shadow. I pray to a higher power.
