You're kidding, right?
Whatever possessed you to follow that link, morbid curiosity?
Since you did make the effort to check this page out, I offer the list of my poems below and the full text as well. (Some of the full texts include more extended commentary than my notes below.)
As a time reference, I was at KHS 1972-1975, MIT 1975-1979, and moved to Billerica summer 1980.
