Things are wrapping up...

Crowd is dispersing. Picked up some literature from this guy for a little lunchtime reading. Thought you might enjoy a sample poem from this issue of the Haight Ashbury Literary Journal:

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO AMWAY?

Where'd all its wonderful promises go?

All those neighbors two or three blocks over
who'd for year been wanting to know you better
without your knowing -
neighbors who wanted nothing
so much as they wanted you to be happy
and rich?

And what happened to all those warehouses somewhere
filled with special Amway soap?---
and the twice-a-a-year pyramidic cheering
at some resort somewhere
around huge iced-bowls of shrimp?

And how'd it happen you're not rich?

- Reid Bush

I kinda like it.
