is why I don’t know what’s on TV.

For now, I’m just trying to write them and get them out there. I know some people believe poetry and marketing are antithetical, but it’s hard to imagine a farmer who just contemplated his wheat in the barn.

Nevertheless, poetry is not only fun to write, but it’s fun to write about. Look over at my ruminations for thoughts about poetry and other stuff. When I’m done marketing I’ll have more to say about it over there. This page is just for bragging.

Toot!
