Hi, David, welcome to the list and thanks for starting the collaboration
chain... Just to point out that a similar collaboration on another list
eventually got so long n weighty that the list owners had to cry, enough!
go play in the yard... Also that the whole of THAT exercise seemed to go
pearshaped when reprinting was mentioned, and some of the collaborateurs
pulled their "copyright" permission. SO: I propose that we sort that one
out soonest (can I appoint David, as the poem's initiator, as copyright
administrator on behalf of the contributors? Sorry David...). I'd like to
see author's names deleted from the base of the poem (otherwise it's not
properly collaborative), and that we add to the rubric:
> Two lines can be added AT ANY POINT by any poet ----
> this poem a collaboration of ANONYMOUS participants.
When I look in the mirror
my privilege is invisible
and a small black beetle wanders down the glass, aimless
as a gray sky passing
through stormclouds,
and I face the facets of my opposites
that draw me from myself
to new climates, rainforests of misbelief, a citrus
