I refuse to create a paywall
My little publication has no paywall
My Medium income is nil
My use for Medium is
esoteric but rewarding
+
I can speak my mind
I can interact with a few
I can advertise myself in the garb
of an author of a new form of book
an unpunctuated soul
a free user
who so far has outlived
writing nooks that came and went
+
Who remembers Themestream
Who lost half their work to Associated Content
+
I still say individuals should
in the first instance
rule
But Ev and others overrule that
Advertising could be
tasteful
+
San Francisco was always a bit cold to me
I like it here in NYC
+
Keep your hand in
as long as you can
is my motto
Everything comes
and just as surely
everything goes
