Thank you, Andrew.
Bill, you appear to be going above my head. Headless lamb? Eek!

Going Out is a piece of poetic nirvana. In so many ways. Your voice is exquisite, John.

Hi John,
I'm pushing this back up because I was nosying at 'who's online' and saw 'a guest' reading this. I missed it the first time. I'm so glad I stumbled on it, it's brilliant.

I don’t think those lines are headless iambs, Bill. I believe they begin with an anapest, and then iambs complete the line, for example Line 1:
I was NER / -vous AS / a CHILD / though NOW / I’m NOT
This poem, John, is amazing.
