the mercenary poet

in a world where the written word is free

poetry is cheap

stream of consciousness even more so

at least it doesn't cost money

but there's always a price

what does it cost you to read my ramblings

how many IQ points

minutes of your life you won't get back?

what does it cost me to let you in?

vulnerability I guess

I probably wont get locked up in an asylum for it

so there is that

i probably won't get paid either

but at least the written word is free

we can write what we like, pretty much

that's worth something

we can even write complete collywobble

and nothing happens

except we get a bit better at it

i am getting to be an expert in colly and wobble at this point

all things considered

i think i'm up on the weekend
