Too Much

Okay, I admit it. I did have fun at AWP.
It's the friends that made it. Denise and Nick
(they're the best, always and forever), Peter
Genevieve, David and Amy, Jo and Karen, Richard and Sally.
And the readings. I love listening to Tate
and Collins and Simic and Edson and Irving and . . .
I even like listening to Simic ramble happily.

It was too much, though. Wasn't it? Way too much.
