De rien, Martin, and so I'm glad the Jow's apologia spurred you on, maybe you
should claim a sort of distinction in having invented a new form: the exploding
sonnet, or the sonnet with a postmodern apologia headache or I-didn't-want-
to-write-a-postmodern-poem-that-required-a-longer-apologia-than-the-
poem-itself :) , but, yes, in any case, I did like it!
all the best,
Rebecca
