^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"It", you mean?
Those lines were added very recently, and I felt they
made the piece into a poem instead of just the list of attributes
it had been since I wrote the first draft 2 years ago.
Thanks David and also Patrick (backchannel) for your comments.
I'll be away from my email for a few days as of tomorrow (Thursday).
