masterpiece isn't the right word. but its the first word that comes to mind. i really dig this. its got a certain sense of humor that seems to run in parallel rather than seeming like comic relief. good to see something sad thats got substance and isn't just begging for attention.... of all the poem's you've written...this one's my favorite

stay up and be easy kid
peace peace
