This was/is in response to a lovely comment to what could be considered a not entirely straightforward poem I presented the other day.
A.
Whoever Is Receptive
Whoever is receptive
To your works, ideas and thoughts
Will slurp you up and in
With pleasure’s grin
While others spit you out.
And that’s what life is all about.
So, not to worry,
Life’s a magnet of attraction:
Primal law that governs action;
Matinee of love and ardor.
Therefore, don’t work harder
Than you must,
And don’t be disappointed,
When the things you want go bust,
Turn into dust.
The persons who need what you’ve got
Will come to you and stay because, and just
Because the law’s at work
To everybody’s satisfaction.
