WHY
People send me email notes they don't want to appear HERE I'm not sure why they don't asking questions. Here's one. Why do I try (I do not always succeed) why do I post a poem a day.
I don't know why. I know that many people don't like poems. They tell me. Once at a reading a man in the audience I didn't know him he told me he'd rather be Anywhere else. I asked why he was there. What made him come somewhere he didn't want to be. He didn't know Why. Not really. I don't know Why either. Why is one of those words we make up reasons for. I've always written poems. By hand on pieces of paper any piece of paper I am not paper fussy I wrote my first poem as a child not to be a poet just because I wanted to write a poem.
