This is for Virginia

This might be a poem.  Thank you, Virginia Vagt.

This is for Virginia.

She told me
Over lunch
I write
My autobiography
In poetry
Every day.

This is for Virginia.

She does not believe
I should call these things
That I write
Every morning
Reflections.

No
She says
No
They are poems
Pure and simple
Simple and pure
That is what they are:
Poems.

This is for Virginia.

She dropped this on me
Over lunch.
I am still chewing.

This might be a poem.
