This is really interesting, Mike. I am not sure it is poetry though. For
one thing you have no things. If there are no things, rarely can the reader be
involved except on a prose level.
Or even if there are no things, the ideas must have reverberations of
involvement for the reader, i.e., E.D., "My life closed twice before its close."
How does a life close? What normally closes? A window, a door. But here we
have a life that closes before its final end or closing. So the ideas have
things attached perhaps even here. Thanks, Mike. You have set me to thinking.
