Doug, I didn't want to let this pass without mentioning conversations I've had with poets Marc McMorris and Ward Tietz attempting to interpret posted parking signs near the Georgetown University campus in Washington DC. At times the talk verged on literary analysis, but on Tuesday March 28 McMorris reminded me of Tarkovsky's Stalker when he argued that if you are caught on Enforcement's Computer anywhere in the Zone after being there for two hours, you can be ticketed. After writing "My Film Isn't Like Meditation" (which I'm glad you liked) during Abigail Child's seminar that Tuesday, I moved my car (as usual) to another location within the Zone and then returned for the reading. When I read your poem (which is the only one I can think of on the subject), I enjoyed the synchronicity as much as not getting the ticket for which I was eligible.
