[New-Poetry] CD Wright's body count

[Roger Day]

It's lazy rhetoric, Robert. I thought you would have known better. It
just displays your prejudice.

CD Wright went for the money and got it. More power to her elbow.
Doubtless she has dependancies to look after, as do we all.

I'm currently looking at scholarships to try and go to Art School.
Doubtless there are better artists out there than me. Let them
compete, as I will do.
