Poet please?

now that you know A publisher,
god forbid,
that at this opportune moment, I utter
a simple request.

(how pleased though to know
that you know the editor of one those
glossy mags with facial-cream ads,
the latest mobile phone fads,
tender advice for those of all ages,
all contained in silky smooth pages)

would you care?
if not for
glamour or for fanfare
to talk to those damned editors?
and bequeath your versed wisdom upon us
so we can understand the world for better or for worse
(and make this magazine a tad more interesting)
when we go to work by bus
