Unfathomable Conversation

What could they possibly mean 

By that 

We want works, of so many 

Words 

So much, or no rhyme 

And we will pay a few dollars or

No dollars

Don't they realize that those of us 

Who write 

Have another reason 

Have another rhyme

Dance 

To the beat of the 

Different drummer ?

They will publish us -

How nice of them 

      To bother 

Now the Internet 

Has given us 

Wings !

-so to speak-

An iPhone and 

- nothing on tv 

Will do 

For inspiration 

An Unfathomable man

Will make 

For 

Interesting 

Conversation

Aging comes in 

For more 

"Inspiration"

Which friend has 

Just died ...

And did they die well

Did they get to go easy

Did they give up.

     Let go

     Gracefully? 

Don't, please God,

Let him go yet

-so many bits of him 

I've just met 

So many Unfathomable conversations 

Yet to have

Having said all this 

I will submit 

A few pages of 

Musings

Sacred mutterings

Confused 

Mumblings

But I will never submit -

Never surrender !

Because

As an American Woman...

I don't have to 

!!!

Thank the great

Goddess!
