I like it, P!!
Cuts out all the gobbledygook; gets right to the basics, the action. And
apparently you think that the several metaphors for the lover aren't
confusing or you would've cut them out.
I welcome other folks' opinions or versions or criticisms of any or all of
this, as well! Fascinating to see what people find effective or
ineffective---and WHY.
Patrick, I thank you for the trouble you took to do this!
