Maybe not?
So I visit today, or maybe is started yesterday
And the font is all different if I check my poems
to look for comments
I would check out some other poets faster
If the search function worked worth a
But it’s
free and then I think
it doesn’t even process words worth a
and that’s just mean
So I look at myself fonted weird
and was checking my stuff, thanks, Jim,
and then I saw these dates and
I was like wait a minute I’ve
been here since way back in ’16
So, instead of working but just for a minute
because the new job is kind of important
even if I might be thinking about something else,
I send an email to Bronson with a
snip of my ’16 poem list because, yes, I want my
badge. I’ve done this before and he has always sent
me back a nice email saying “it might be another email”
(I’m paraphrasing) and I think no way but I was halfway
through this
poem when I got an email where Bronson had sent me the
email address that my ’16 poems were under and it’s from
a job a used to have how
stupid is that
and asks me “hey, can you prove those are your poems” (I’m paraphrasing)
and I probably can’t unless I can log into that site
which it doesn’t look like I can do so, unless I’m willing to give Bronson my
password that I use for virtually everywhere, here, too, not that he would use it, no
I scan through looking for the word cat, not reading them, but adding
to the tally, reading some, commenting on next to none
because I’m thinking what are those badges for that aren’t dates?
My guess is actual financial support.
Hey, I bought three books
Man, I really want that ’16 medal and a badge
maybe, I dream, they would have to make me a special badge in
honor but I think I should have been thinking “thank you” through half of
this and “bless you, kind sponsors” along with “I’m sorry I haven’t been more participative” I guess I sorta was kinda.
I don’t count my cat poem in the tally
