"If it's not too late"! Ah, Mairead, yer a shawlie with the fringe
on top.
And what a terrific poem, especially the ledge-to-building
dialogued ("jump, jump!") layout, which I hope and trust is not
merely the result of e-mail blowout syndrome. Assuming it's not--
and also that the two-sidedness is meant for divided readings along
with a convergent one--it certainly works for me, architectonically
and (just as it stands) architecturally--thanks--
