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!
