Doug, Just now encountered this thread. Impact of corona virus on film screenings in my geographic range has interfered with my reading, writing, & time management. I have no symptoms and doubt I have it, but to be safe skipped 2 screenings this past Sunday because I anticipated full houses. Instead, I chose to witness TALKING ABOUT TREES, a sparsely-attended charmer which focused on 4 Sudanese auteurs trying to revive film screenings in their country after years of being shutdown by Sharia law. I'm again jealous of your ability to write a poem with only 3 words and admire the extra impact you get by spatially dividing the second word into 2 parts which reach back and forward to alter the significance of the first and third word. Barry
