Thanks, Doug. I suspect these 'threaded ropes' take an eye/ear like yours to make the shifts - to see how one sequence comes to a kind of stop, and, at the same time, initiates a new sequence - starting and stopping in the same instance, particularly there in this one with the double function of the verb "submit".
I, often, doen't realize these 'changes' until I re-read a poem a few times.
Of course, there are times with the process falls flat on its face.
