Who would want a woman like that reading their poems? lol. Sounds like a
bimbo - that they would think of cleaning their raincoat over poems, but
then I realize that we are talking about Ted Kooser's poems here.

Ted Kooser always expressed simplicity in his work, so I'm supposing that
it's not too metaphoric in what he's trying to say. Maybe he really is
saying that a person with not enough money to even wash their raincoat
should focus on that neccessity over purchasing his poem. It could be more
but I don't see anything that lends itself into metaphor.

It was interesting for me to note that Ted Kooser's "ideal" reader is one
who chooses to not even purchase his poetry, but rather spend her money on
more practical things.
I'm having a hard time deciding for myself if Kooser is speaking in
metaphor or symbolism, or if he is being literal in his remarks that his
perfect reader wouldn't even bother to read his work.
Does anyone have any additional comments on this?
