Hi Tom!
Some of these strike me as much better than others.
"Improvidence": the candid point of view is so today, and "Sleep" is art as magic.
I like "The Niche" too, but I wonder what type of niche it is. It reminded me of references by beat or 60s poets who spoke of a "niche" with contempt: once you fit in it, you were through. I wonder if Menashe is speaking of that kind of niche. "Disclose him" is an interesting notion, but the rhythms do nothing for the poem, unfortunately. Thanks for posting these!
