How does bamboo ridge?
With lots of hands, lots of head, lots of heart
And hours and days, and years—30—of time.
What did bamboo ridge?
Ninety-one issues,
Eight hundred-fifty plus writers and artists
of poems, stories, plays, and essays
with plenty, plenty of words, some pictures,
some photos
To launch careers
To help pass the time
To keep hope alive
Hang on, keep watch,
Plug along.
