I love these! Just enough detail to make the scenes utterly real. And I
don't want to know who 'He' is in the second one, because one can imagine
many possibilities. I love the part about the father and mother, the
problems with parents that so often seem to motivate people to 'greatness'.

Janet, I like your not wanting to know who He is, and I'm very glad you got
something from the poem without knowing, but I gotta tell ya - He is George
W. Bush, and the other people in the helicopter his inner circle. (Cheney's
early years are fascinating. Left to himself he was a gormless, ineffective
person. Then he met Lynne.) --- Best of luck on submitting your first
collection!
