[James Midgley]

Cross-edited with Joe -- yes, I think I'm off the mark with that one!

I probably shouldn't be attempting to comment on poems while teaching -- apologies for my semi-attention.

It makes a lot more sense as a general post-surgery poem, of course. I still think it lacks specificity -- I'd like some more personal insight into the person, the feeling, and so on. The second half of my prior comment is still more or less how the poem seems to move for me so I've left it intact.

PS: I feel very silly :-)
