Come to think of it, Joe, our physical arrival in the world is an implicit 'preface' to something! Tho usually impossible to predict for a long time, on top of which the 'face' and all the other parts keep changing over time. Singers in their 20's maybe accountants by the time of death, and/or nothing much besides a body at all - an epilogue of sorts and, with luck, saved by a memorable eulogy. How's that for an upper!!?? Back to work, I must.

If the question "why did the poet create this poem?" is a valid one, then its answer is what I call the poem's implicit preface. -- =============================================== Jon Corelis http://jcorelis.googlepages.com/joncorelis ===============================================
