meeting 2

… can you imagine
that  this guy makes his living
from doing these things?

There are many things
I dare not dream imagine
Woe my bank account

dude, you’re a rare breed
a subsidized composer
you shouldn’t complain

Having been denied
my expected stipend ***
I both grin and cringe

*** !!! you made a mistake
there should be seven of them
syllables, not six

My deepest sorrow
entails apology, yet
is ‘sorry’ enough?

(My handwriting sucks,
sorry that you have to read
all this gibberish)

Ages have past since
last I took up a ballpen
paper won’t forgive

this is fun; do you
agree if I take it and
post it on my blog?

Only if you can
ensure the identities
are kept a secret

Identities are
all hidden; starting with the
city we live in

genius the way
modern life allows us all
to hide in shadows

indeed; but in this
anonymity can lie
unforeseen dangers
