Poets on the Great Recession

I was asked to contribute to "Poets on the Great Recession", a project run by the redoubtable Eileen Tabios.

Here's my contribution.

    which recession we talking' about ?

    I used to buy a new pair of 501's every year now? heck Sears wants $65 for a pair..

    I got a like new pair at Value Village last Monday when they take 25 % off for seniors

    for $4.75 !

    as for what this "recession" has done for my poetry & art ?

    when I am hungry I write a poem about pork chops and eat the poem!

    and the art? I mostly do things in wood so I got plenty of fire-wood for this winter.

    et ceteras....

    'which recession' Ed? Yes, they do all merge into one after a while...
