I really liked this one. . . I'm always up for poetry that makes you think. . . a fine experiment. . . do you have more??  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

JellyBKing, neat Xperimentation. I daresay the intrigue and exploration of the work as a whole may have been even greater without so detailed an interpretation, but even so, this is grand. Thanks for it. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
