Whoops, I do apologise. Out of laziness I hit a collective button for
recently used email addresses - forgetting p'etc would be in there. Having
already trumpeted my good fortune in these quarters, I didn't mean to lay it
on you again. So, sorry folks.
Judy, I don't know whether a gloss on the poem is constructive. I tried to
break out of my two dimensional chron(o)(ic)logical habits of creating, and
found some of Sheila's work in her Collected Chapbooks to be a great help in
this regard.
Thanks for your attention (every reader will construct a different poem).
