Poetry makes nothing happen. — Auden

Poetry is curious.

Write love poems and
everybody will love you.

Write about anything
more substantive and
you will be called
boring or pretentious.

Here’s to boring
and pretentious!

Nearly seventy, not
any more love poems
coming my way.

Still, there is so
much left to say.
