sure, but your first one (& many earlier ones) came as a piece of near
prose, with certain words tied together (which is where I suspect the
linebreaks are supposed to be) (I'm wondering if others on the list are
having the same problem; & was wondering if when yours returned to you
from the list it looked like that too)? What I mean is, if you are
writing a prose poem, then shouldn't all the words be separated by a
single space?
