some questions I've been getting from new writers over the past year and years
Thank you! I just wrote out loads of questions to ask in class on Saturday--and this post addressed many of them. Appreciate your generosity...

“Thou art in screaming primrose garlanded,
Arms interlaced, O gorgeous-painted friends,
Historically affixt charming and bright:
By far the wealthiest, most capable
Collective of boss models to pose ever,
Peerlessly cultured garden wünderkinds
Of league-wide visible world travellers,
Admired globalists of dizzying reach,
With yet the ripe still life fruit bowl of time
Unfolding fragrant forth her petalled breakfast,
Each polished ear resounds thy singing tunes,
And every open eye conveys thine image,
Waking democracy’s up generation, armed
For fresh wars at first bitter signal groan.
Possess thou dost a globe of followers,
Unto their number gorged more parent wealth
Inherited these next ten years than sum
Of every furrowed workweek hour on earth
Hath strength to generate for all mankind
To labour married through sickness and health;
More might than mere enough to do thy will
The thronging concert moneychangers’ hands
Have in their iron-fisted baller’s grasp.
Yet thy tongue speaks my ilk inferior far
To sheepskin draped across thy leisure couch,
Myself mere horsehair brush of foreign skill:
Such shall I ever be, for casting blame
More near to heart than treasured distant name.
Thy future holds not slenderest hope for me,
Chink-armoured captain whose exiling choice
Hath made stark opposite of fancy free,
For lacking what thou got’st from birth: thy voice.
Beg one another whatso thou wouldst change,
It cannot alter what high gods arrange.”
