Morning On the Lower East Side

Walked over to the local tea shop 
and had a blueberry and a jade green tea 
The owner and his wife - a nurse(!)
were there 
The owner has some of my poetry chapbooks
I traded the last one for a cup of green tea and a 
blueberry muffin  - a profit of $2.00
Sent out a poem - in English 
to the anthology again 
Started an article on the life of Longfellow 
$50 if I get it published

You do ok sometimes with publishing . Better than me when it comes to things other than poetry. You lead such a nice life, Matt.
