only bad hung
is I am on a serious deadline
for this LA gig.
and I upped the ante on myself,
booking the gig
for something that ain't done yet.
I grasp the responsibility of knowing
the stupidity of some of my readers,
and hopefully they don't notice
my own stupidity or my rush.
I don't care,
silent senators fear my editing,
there is no need for defending.
good where I am,
happy to keep pushing poetry forward.
