Oh, another death knell for poetry.

Re reciprocity - yeah, it's how it works. And it can feel like a treadmill. BUT that's when I know I need to reboot. I take a day or two off from Medium, then remind myself that the poets I continue to read online, reciprocating, are poets whose work I admire, whose work teaches me about the craft, whose work touches me/my soul (no b.s. here, I do cull who I read tit for tat, religiously) every bit as much as the giants in my bookshelves.

Sorry if this makes no sense - it's late here! xox
