'being read': that catches the on-going perceptions of it all, Lawrence.
(Interesting: in the first posting, my new Apple Mail brought along two earlier poems from August on that title [slowly learning all the new operating system can do]).
anyway, 'context // out of context' seems to be the MO here, & sets up intriguing shifts of a tension….
