- "great poem, i think in poetry for me anyway i have guidlines but no rules. i just write without being to critical. how my reader sees it, is a language in itself. its the eye of the beholder, its how its interprited that matters to me. thought provoking. and i really dont know what the hell im talking about. but i leave you with the comment that your poem is awesome!"

- "truth is beauty and beauty truth....ya know, I think Fritz considered truth to be apparent... a matter of appearance; truth lurked upon the surface and was merely a prejudice of philosophers, no more good than falsehood ;) but then, the ethical question for him was more a matter of individual growth than objective knowledge.... whereas Levinas considered kindness... a simple smile, perhaps... to be the basis of all ethics. Of course, Plato thought the essences of beauty, truth and goodness all to be mutually implied and materially equivalent. I wonder, where do we first draw the lines of definition to distinguish unnecessary plotlines from the necessary? :) Just some early mornin thoughts. I enjoyed the complexity here and the questions of those recurring and indispensable terms such as a Grecian Urn would reveal to a poet... thanks for the ponderings :) Hope you are well. "

- ">and you go to see... and to leave unseen
nah. I don't go. It was a mental snapshot I was trying to capture after listening to the song Wharf Rat while pondering why a dumb-ass girlfriend of mine keeps going back to a man the treats her like crap."

- "some people go just to be seen... and you go to see... and to leave unseen? Interesting read... could be why I rarely find myself in such scenes.... seens? the weak and the mean, do the weak seek out the mean, does it assure them they are who they seem, revel in their weakness... the submissive longs to be forced to submit, maybe? Eh, bars... they were so much more any other year. Thank you."

- "tasty.... how sweet can be defeat? What good's a joystick if one never teases the joy from it? My chorus holds full sway, I think, like in Blake... binding with briars my joys and desires... but perhaps my garden will yield treats worth tasting someday... hope resides in the someday, and requires it never come. thank you. *bows*"

- "This brings to mind a strengthening of ones foundation along the path one walks yet curiosity can get the better of us and make said foundation a bit shaky until one strengthens it again. The challenges of life and how it can so easily trip us up at times....... A wonderful pen."

- "hmmm... on the one hand, the metaphor in this reminds me of August Wilson's 'Fences'... aren't we all walking a number at once... and on the other, the term 'gap' reminds me of Patricia Harkin's 'Acts of Reading'... where the gap is always more interesting than the posts, so to speak. Funny how gravity holds the fence in place while it threatens to shake the walker off... modal logic... with an necessary universal axiom, maybe... all possible worlds gravitate towards the gap.... even as we seek our escape. Thank you for the pondering words. *bows*"

- "mmm... minding the gaps indeed..... there is a sincerity here, a seriousness given to one's thoughts... and these 'worlds'..... how they forge and influence one's life; how can one not place their full attention to where one had been, to where one is going...? ..."a logic resting at cross-strengths upon the gravity of other worlds" ...how wonderfully worded. Thank you for this full and intelligent read...... most appreciated. ~b"

- ":) I think my ramblings got the best of me there, my apologies... I like the notion of 'the pretty time'... it somehow distances and creates an unusual space while retaining something of youth, of a young outlook, fresh and welcoming... to be contrasted sharply with the eyes and their reaction. Just enjoyed this mind morsel, thank you."

- "there are no raped babies to make this something worthy of intelligent commentary, so I'll have to settle for simply stating how I found the parable within this tale to resonate so well with the ending. As if the end illustrates the very tale that was being told, I love it when a writer can not only describe but illustrate what is described at the same time. I think the notion of a 'pretty time' to be what arrives, the awaiting for such a time, as well as the way the emptiness was weaved in story lines... threaded and spooled, pooled, as it were.. craving of eyes, what what would be pretty time without eyes... eyes that need? and at the end, the time, the blanking of eyes... the patronage and applause... all remain nothing? or does it? is not the rising of her in flight suggest the masking is not merely a masking, maybe? Does pretty time mask nothing?"
