Publishing 101

in lilliput they will publish you for free
in tiny volumes only dolls can see.
but dolls don't read.

thus, the dilemma.
you try to write smaloer
so the tiny teachers will not fret

but glowering looks are
all that you will get
for all your pains

painstakingness.
and it always seems they'll love you best
when you write larger less and less

until you're writing
notging there at all.
