Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Two things...I am currently fighting a losing battle against an ugly cold and I have found myself experimenting more with formatting, syntax and just presentation. Make of this what you will.
Oh here are some more of my experimentations and most recent work. Also, new unofficial challenge coming soon...

Enjoyed this unique form! Hope you feel better soon!
I noticed that '(broken)' remains whole. Is that...hope?
A'sat tire, indeed. Don't let the vulgarians win.

That explains it. An ugly cold can make it tough to breathe, much like this poem. I'd give that last sentence a "lol" but colds are no laughing matter.
Love this and it's true how we have devolved our communication skills into such a childish form!
And do we descend into incomprehension as we rely on emojis and acronyms. A timely pice, Paul. I liked the strange formatting. It simulated the message you were trying to convey. Nice work, chum.
