On to yours, I have to admit, it took me a couple of reads... but loved it never the less, I can see myself reading it again to fully decipher. The long lines separated out with the short pieces fit together, I could read all the long lines together(without the separating shorter pieces), then I moved to read the short pieces, just themselves, and surprise -surprise, they fit too.. .. I liked the way you hand out the choices and then somehow toward the end imply that there ever was only one choice! Thanks for stopping by to leave me your thoughts, greatly appreciated.

The poem reads, to me, like a man beset by the pace of modern life. He can't turn off the internal chatter of his mind. I like how you alternated the line length between stanzas.

I read and enjoyed five or six poems from your archive, especially Sleeping Alone (wonderful, that!). Hi Tom,
