Struggling along after so long, I can see where having a poem (and not really even a poem, after all) being thought of as Maya Angelou's greatest wouldn't be so bad.

I think my daughter would have said, hell no, that's my momma's, but who really knows?

in the meantime- rejection in the mail from Runes- nice note from the editor that it's so hard to say no and liked particularly "Expectations."

sigh and thanks
