"I agree. That's the part thtat struck me about this piece. At first I was caught in the idea of sobriety and intoxication as a dualist nature. Upon reflection, instead it's the being caught between doing for others and doing for self that presents this duality. Hence; to try. So subversive. What a great piece."

"To add further to what Anth mentioned about specific placement..the first two lines of the second main stanza are fantastic. The second line in particular, with a use of double alliteration on soft consonants...that's tricky right there. I'm keen on the idea too..."the journey" ...as cliched a metaphor as it is, it still rings true. Praxis, I guess we could call it...we can look in any direction, but really only travel in one."

"Then I shall consider my goal accomplished. I know we've spoken about this before...I came across a great quote from Hermann Hesse..I've been immersed in his books (again) for about a month now.. This is from the introduction to Steppenwolf.. "Poetic writing can be understood and misunderstood in many ways. In most cases the author is not the right authority to decide on where the reader ceases to understand and the misunderstanding begins. Many an author has found readers to whom his work seemed more lucid than it was to himself. Moreover, misunderstandings can be fruitful under certain circumstances." I read that earlier tonight and immediately thought about you. I take great comfort in the fact that this experience was meaningful to you, whether it be on an intellectual or emotional level. "

"I know it sounds trite but "game for a worthy challenge" was the one that really got me. That shift in Dynamic/Power....push and pull....you're making me blush."

"that's the beauty of poetry. It's not about "smart" or "not-so-smart"...it's completely subjective. And I like to be at least partially ambiguous as far as meaning goes. These words are about a feeling I had, fleetingly, today. The words convey that feeling, as best as I can describe it. It's fantastic that you can perceive of it in a different way. Like the way instrumental music effects a person. I appreciate your input, and value above all the fact that it made you think or feel something. Don't sell yourself short.."
