| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 07/10/03 at 12:20 PM Quite expressive! Can clearly see how it could represent either part of the title(s). |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 07/10/03 at 12:42 PM Oh...yes. Both ways, Alex, both ways. |

| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 07/10/03 at 11:11 PM Hiya Alex, this seems to have relevance and meaning at many different levels...I am constantly amazed how mch one can fit within the constraints of seventeen syllables! Great job Alex! :) |
