Empire Records begins on April 8th,

Celebrating washed-up popstar’s newest album. Meanwhile,

Lucas, amidst the chaos, explains to Joe the essence of faith.

Incidentally, Joe’s money is in a grunge-y casino’s pile,

Perfect crime made less perfect by humbling style.

Shoplifter Warren, with envy laid bare, receives a chance,

Eclipsed by generosity, in victory they dance.

Acrostic

About the Creator

Aaron Richmond

I get bored and I write things. Sometimes they're good. Sometimes they're bad. Mostly they're things.
