“I, too, was very affected by River Phoenix’s death. I read an incredible article about him in one of the magazines. I have it in my scrapbook. I saved it. I wrote a long poem about it, relating it to all the people I had known that had just gotten way beyond themselves on drugs, and not being able to get to them in time to save them. I circled parts of it, read parts of the article out loud to my mom, and to a couple of my friends. I called my brother… I thought, if I could have met him, I could have saved him. I know that. And I thought about it for days. He reminds me of someone I know really well.”
