Daynnight, please forgive me for not posting earlier. I read your poem-post several times, looked at your profile page and read a few of your other poems, and returned here to stare at your poem again. Lacking confidence in being able to reply without triggering you, I decided to let others post first. I was hoping they would have a longer history with you; from their posts I might be able to discern what words you needed.

No, none of the above serves as an excuse, but that's what I was actually doing and thinking.

Two things:

• Garbage doesn't do poetry.
• As servant to an oversized mutant shepherd, I can tell you that feces can be most instructive, provided you examine them carefully and learn to read them.
