I REALLY LIKE LOVERS OF POETRY

 
I really like lovers of poetry. I have a faithful
friend who is always interested in my new
books.

When I hand her the next edition, she asks me
to read a few selected works from it.
And then she asks like this:
And what do you get out of it?

And I answer her with a question:
In what sense?

Then she explains:
In an economic sense.

Then there is a two-minute silence.

And after a while we are already talking
about problems with nature conservation.

And so we have been together since time
immemorial.
I really like lovers of poetry.
