Lyrics
I can't believe I'm 53, And I'm still writing poetry. You'd think I'd finally had my say And all these lines would fade away. It's true I gave it up for years; I needed time to clear my ears Of some of what I'd heard before, But now I think I've shut the door, Which really means the loans are gone, And I don't have to act upon The urge to base my whole career On teaching Lit as an austere Adjunct in community college Making pennies on borrowed knowledge. Now I am free to write for free, The going rate for poetry. 1/4/22
