who reads these poems anyway,
to relieve boredom at work, to pass the
time
when someone else has the newspaper?
who reads these poems anyway,
stand up and state your name and occupation,
your age and gender, your
favorite color
and whether you prefer cats or dogs.
where were you born?
how many languages do you speak
and do you understand
these words
which float out into the electronic
abyss...
who reads
these poems anyway?
I do, since I write them,
my name is Jenny, I am a scientist,
I'm 54 and female, I like purple ok,
I speak English and French, and was
born in Chicago, and I
prefer dogs because they don't make
me sneeze.

I'm Paul, a chemist, I read your poems for a moment of reflection. I'm 74, male, and I like blue. I speak english and russian and I was born in Minnesota. I prefer dogs, but cats are OK.
Oh! Paul, I am so excited that you left a comment! Wow, Russian...that is a very difficult language. I am really glad to know who reads these...I just love writing.
