10 years

10 year anniversary
I remember when he said to me,
“You want to write?
Then write for free.”

And so I did, and here we are
Rearview-mirror my lucky star
Hook, line, & sinker – my desmise
To think art fruitless enterprise

So here we are, the big degree
Tauntingly approaches me
Bankrupt creativity –
I should have been a writer, see?
