    Someone once asked Oscar Wilde how he had spent the previos morning, to which Wilde replied, “I put a comma in a poem.” Surprised, the questioner asked him what then did he do in the afteroon. Wilde replied., “I took it out.” Best >KB

      Wilde would get the first, gilt, engraved invitation to my salon. Love that man.

      I am honored that you stopped by. I actually just ordered your book this morning — it arrives tomorrow.

        Thank you very much. I hope you will enjoy it or something like that. I noticed someone poking around in the background and took the time to be curious. I too like Oscar–the reason I use him in my gravatar is because at one time when he was more beautiful than handsome we could have been twins. So it goes…Best. >KB

        Oh by the way, forget about that ‘honored’ stuff. It doesn’t fit the sense of who I am. It’s my poems that I care about more than being a poet. Thomas Merton said, I have become what I always wanted. That, I will never be.” >KB
