she prefers
to hang out with poets
because they speak her language
hear her thoughts
and understand her ways
without knowing or having to ask
why
she prefers
to hang out with aging beatniks
prodigal prophets
and other marginal people
that most have disregarded and thrown away
without discerning the buried treasure
that lies within...
