Pull up a chair and sit
is not a placard on
my door, too much old man
for the pleasant enterprise,
not that there's no money
in it otherwise, quite
the other way around
in fact; maybe that's where
we get at the heart of
no nonsense: we've never
met, but I'm willing to bet
you have ways to suggest
turning my turnings into
profit not all for myself;
even more: pleasure for
those who don't know they
want pleasure yet. Forget
the plans you have for a new
house, your health, the weather
not quite itself this year.
I've lost my train of thought:
politics, God? Why, were you
in, I'd be out, supply met
quite aptly for yourself.
