B City Blues
*************

Ok we released our book last weekish
and we are over it now
glory engines off
we are mere people again
planning our next project..

we even sneaked in
a mere mention review into
the regional lifestyle paper
( ya we did it ourselves )
and laughed at how easy it was
to exist in print
in the public persona

but this week,
in the same paper
someone we don't know
wrote a letter to the editor
sort of snarling at us
for existing beyond the
fringes of their limits of permission
what they found appropriate

style of the letter seemed like
some lone drinker
failed English major
mad at someone who has fun
we were belittled at i with style

YAY -
we have generated
- authentic resentment
we exist in a meaningful way
in the public persona

Its the Canadian way!
hiss at success, spread doubt
we got the hiss
so this must be success

I am framing their sneers to the editor
unsigned
we will never know who it is
or even who they think
they used to be..

they live in the B city
and far away on the acrid horizon
is the stink swath of the A city yonder

and we live in the middle of nowhere
on the edge of paradise
where we get along
and make our own fun
and actually produced a kick ass book
totally pro
totally original
totally DIY
totally fun

thats the sort of start up
that makes enemies
