[R. Nemo Hill]

Thanks, all. Ironically enough, my obstinate critical defense of this poem (many years ago) was the cause of the first poetic food-fight I ever had here on the Sphere. So take heart ye stand-your-grounders, time heals all wounds, and poems can emerge unscathed from time to time--strengthened by several rounds in the ring.

I am told by the folks at Kin that my audio of the poem will be up sometime in the near future. Stay tuned.
