an
editor years ago
after
publishing a shitload of my poems
over
a several year period
asked
me to stop using 
the
earth note numbering method
     for
poem titles
implying
that i seem to have found
a
lazy way of titling 
     yeah
     there's
an element of truth there
but
i've never been a fan
of
orthodoxy 
nor
of conforming 
to
any editor-self-inflating-wordplay
     puffery
makes poor poetry
so
let that stand as my 
     au
revoir
