counting posts and counting posts until just now … when the site goes down … and i have to stop counting posts … so i think about tomorrow’s classes for awhile … and try the site - the discussion boards … but they’re still down …
i say to myself … this was inevitable … at the last minute .. the last minute is never quite the one you were expecting … it always comes just a bit sooner
you know … i still think i make pomes that are worth making even though nobody … or next to nobody reads them … if you read them don’t be offended … you are not nobody … though you may be next to nobody … tell him to move over & make room for the others who want to read my pomes

Hey Br. Tom,
Well, I just read some of your poetry, and I had to shove nobody outta the way…terribly inconvenient. Well, have you tried to publish some of these?? To be honest, I did not quite understand some of it (I don’t understand much), but it was fascinating to say the least. Have you ever thought about publishing them??

Well I definitely repeated myself… My mind is not working quite well right now… That sonnet took a lot outta me

hi dan … i just now discovered your comments … have been a bit preoccupied with … uh .. you can guess what …
when people ask as you do if i’ve thought about publishing i usually say: well, they are published … right here on the internet … but i know what you mean …and yes … from time to time i daydream about some publisher stumbling onto these & saying “hey let us publish you” … but i know that’s most unlikely … and i haven’t the energy/ambition/arrogance/whatever to chase down a publisher myself …
i like to think i’m saving some trees by not rushing to publish … and i suspect these things are not “for the ages” anyway … kind of ephemeral
thanks for asking
