A poem, like a business, should always have an exit strategy.
A poem is a platform.

profile, make connections, plant seeds.
The poverty of poetry is an asset.
The meaning of poetry isn’t liquid.
Carried interest in poetry is essentially tax-free.
Reading is a better return on investment than writing.
