Thanks for the read to both of you, G and Melissa.
Great stuff, and love how it blows the rule about avoiding abstractions in a poem to hell.
OMG, i love this, sam — it's so true, it stings.
fabulous recent photos, too.

I agree with you, Sarah, that Welch avoids abstractions here. And Arlene, thanks for the comments about the poem and the photos.
