Not for the first time
A friend asked why I bother
Sending new poems out every other week?
I’ve thought long and hard on this.
Surely, not everyone reads every poem.
Some might read a couple, others less.
For all I know I may be sending poems
To an old acquaintance
… who died in 2011?
Just because I like writing poems
Doesn’t mean all those emails
Go to folks who are hungry for my
Incredibly brilliant insights.
So, dear reader, I must confess.
It is not to save humanity from self-annihilation
That I explore the far reaches of my disturbed brain.
It’s for the MONEY!!
