***BIO*** Jnana Hodson: Contrary to a common presumption, Jnana’s not a woman. The name’s Sanskrit, where Rama, Krishna, Shiva, Arjuna, and Ganesha are also all males. He’s had the handle for more than three decades now.  Web-zine appearances include Comrades, Deep Cleveland Junkmail Oracle, Hobart, Jack, Third Muse, and Tryst.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
by Jnana Hodson
No matter how much I’ve been praised,
I’m not letting go.
It’s an architectural issue.

I won’t experiment with 10% off, not in this case.
In the first place, when I don cream-colored poplin,
it shows I’ve been on retainer.

Admittedly, I’ve been promoted
because I’m late-night professional.
Still, she insists I’m not tapping into
            whole areas of my gold-weaving talent.

So what? I’m not your spread-collar adversary.
After so long in 7-gauge management,
I’ve every right to frustration.

Regardless, as a Virgo,
I don’t start the day this dizzy.
