Walter,
you were so right about the shrinking spaces in this write in face there were no empty spaces to be seen. Well written.
Write on

I really really love your work, Walter. The construct of this piece reminded made me feel that "noisiness" of the spirit--amplified that frantic need to escape. Very clever and well-written, as always.

Im sorry I missed this before...
these pages move too fast now to keep up ...
thanks to Sen for bringing it back up...
very cool write Walter ...
the run on words in your verses worked
perfectly to accent your message and work the rhyme flows pace.
well done poet sir
take care my friend, and nice to see your name here.

The pain be mine ...
but thine shall be the praise.
