I'm glad you had to go public, Patrick! There's way too much fear of
offending going around, seems to me. Thanks for the the candor. (However
stupit!!!!) Seriously, I pride myself on how often I take two different but
related risks in poetry: of being pretentious and of being sentimental. But
if I can reduce the seeming pretentious of this particular text, I will.
Not sure it rambles, though--it's pretty short to do that, yes?
all best, Bob
