Poem that spoke of a man who croaks, were you not my own, I would quote you! I would think that whomever composed you smokes dope, but I know it ain’t so, ’cause I wrote you.Which poet is it, that constructed you, Ode? ‘Twas myself! Though I scant deserve credit. For a poem’s not a poem ‘less it stands on its o’en through my 50 neurotic edits.And forget let us not, the post-poem note! Doleful lament upon poem just wrote, pensively telling of muse that had flo’en. Though reader, perhaps, was just glad poem was do’en.NOTE: The poet wishes it to be kno’en: It’s not his intent to promote or condo’en the writing of poems about one’s other poems. Do as I say, not as I’ve do’en. Michael Kupietz It is I! Mike Kupietz, a reluctant scion of the postmodern age, is larger on the inside than the outside: perhaps not a composer, but a creator and arranger of sounds, nor a writer, but an avid writer-down; an occasional author of doggerel; an erstwhile urban hermit; and privately a man of great ardor. He is, if now resigned to never succeeding at those personal and artistic pursuits he holds most dear, unwavering in his determination to fail at them as entertainingly as possible. He is currently in what he calls the "red bathrobe period" of his life. If you're wondering what all this has to do with FileMaker development—you done taken the wrong turn, this river don't go to Aintry. Mike's professional services are on his Bay Area FileMaker Pro consulting website.
