Krista Franklin, the cover artist for Copper Nickel 13 presents her "A Natural History of My Drapetomania" over at The Owls.
Here's a preview:
The radio is a bad influence, lures me further away, summons me to Salem Mall, through its heavy glass doors to feast on the hallucinogen of consumerism.

I leave sweaty-palmed with something to take home, my allowance pick-pocketed by the record industry.
