Zod, we miss you on aapc (and in the Dancehall).
Will, Im glad you bumped this; it's always worth a read. I suppose the
quickest way to say what I think of it is to note that I included it in
your Selected Poem; and to add that, while it can certainly be read on
its own, I think it reads works best as an integral part of the extended
series that makes up Part II of that book.
