Another Letter to the Editors

I do not think I would like to be taken
for someone of whom I’m not. Is that
good English?, perhaps not. Say I, fuck-it.
WordPress sends me messages from people
who are willing to take the time, and I admit
it inflates my ego no end.
Funk and Wagnalls def.”ego n. 1. The thinking,
feeling, and acting self that is conscious
of itself and aware of its distinction
from the objects of its thought and perceptions.”
I guess I’ll buy def. no. 1., although I have a
problem with the word “distinction” vis-a-vis the text.
If you don’t exactly fathom what I’m trying to say,
never fear, I think we may be in the same boat.
Seriously, ha,ha!, there come remarks which I file
in my mind and in the spirit of economy I attempt response.
Some have asked do I get much spam? My guess is that
modern day spam is anything thrown at you, impersonally,
to see if it will stick. Frankly, the only things that stick
to me are personal comments, repeat, personal comments.
It’s, how can I say it?, rewarding.
Islander.
