Naturally, I asked them to start contributing to the "Sampler."  And I
was right in doing so.

That's poetry of the highest quality.

The opening line is very good. It's almost as good as the opening line
of Robert Creeleys poem, "The Days Pile Up":

I do hope "Dr." NastyGoon credited Mr. Creeley; otherwise that would be
something they would call, you know -- "plagiarism".

I did hear back from "Dr." NastyGoon; they left a comment in this
thread. Their story, which they admit they've only assumed, is that
Creeley's poem doesn't even exist. (They didn't say whether they assumed
Creeley exists or not.)

Yes, I know they're still on that track.
My 1976 poem, with the line:
"The seconds have piled up at the floor, lost here in some other guy's
past."
Does exist.
