Remember the musical scoring that kicks in when the Goonies finally get to put their hands on One-Eyed Willie's rich stuff?  When they see those piles and piles of pirate treasure?  It starts out all somber, with Mikey like, connecting with the skull of his dead pirate, and then it swells in triumph and joy and all their struggles are finally paying off?  That is pretty much what every moment would be like if Mindy ran the universe, and everyone knew how lucky they were to be breathing if they they were breathing...I can tell you know what I'm talking about so I won't go on.

The official stuff: welcome to the website for poet Mindy Nettifee.  Read her stuff, buy some books, sign up to hear about upcoming shows and parties, or troll through the collection of people and things that keep her inspired and glowy.  And thank you for visiting.  Or arriving.  Or just making it to the end of this paragraph.  You did it!
