I reckon this is a real poem, Marilyn with some
wonderful images ('to catch your heart/before it hits
the pavement' 'upon the canvas of my want' specially
appeal0. I wonder if you could/should say 'I'd
repaint the scenes/ that would draw you back' more
because of the rhythm than the sense. I'm sure you
know best. cheers and thanks, cara
