Rabbi Ebner's name came up today while doing guidance with a student. I googled him and this past post was one of the top results. I like the discussion that the post evoked. I miss it.
In case you don't click the link (and even if you do) here's the poem that it features:

In the age of dot com,
when every half baked idea
became a new issue
and tripled over night
and every idiot was getting rich,
I wasn't an idiot.
I was writing poetry
and staying poor.
In the age of dot com
I proposed a poetic prospectus
for a concept company
a cyberspace supplier
of spare poem parts.
(I would become the Bill Gates of poets
appear on the cover of Time,
Millionaire Muse CEO,
forever silencing parents:
"there's no money in poetry
you'll be waiting tables").
