Dear Fellow Poet
Dear Fellow Poet
Dear fellow poet, if I may intrude
on your writing and solitude,
and this question to you pose:
Are you, by chance, one of those
who lives with the possibility
of never gaining immortality?
And which thought racks your mind
as it did once long ago even mine?
Your chances, I say, with no hesitation,
are lesser than reincarnation.
Or would you consider without shame
Warhol’s fifteen minutes of fame
than nothing? If so, it just might be
enough to keep you writing poetry.
