Poetry and Money

no money in poetry they said
utter waste of time mental
defecation of anarchic soul
why dont you do....
i said i love poetry
but there is no money...
why do you love your wife your
children or anybody  there is no money
there either
they walked to the other
corner

If we find things to love, that's the best form of payment we can receive. Very nice, Francis.
