| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 01/03/04 at 03:58 AM You really said that right! How can it be I have had nothing to quibble on these three poems? Are you mellowing or is it me? LOL! Solid writing, my friend. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/03/04 at 04:36 AM Absolutely f****** brilliant! Definietely destined for my favorites list. |
| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 01/03/04 at 06:37 AM oooooo... ok, i may be off here, but in my demented little mind, i see this as a great big slap in the proverbial face that we are sheep (and not in the nice sense of the analogy)... in my perception of your cleverly crafted piece, i am awed... i love it!... blessings... |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 01/04/04 at 02:02 AM My whole take on being God's understudies takes a little different direction....that we are all small pieces that make up the one universe, and EVERY piece is amazingly relevant. I think I agree with mankind's role, "let us remember that mankind is the comic relief..." Nice read!!! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/04/04 at 12:44 PM no wonder we fell. who tripped o'er our own swagger. who lacked the moral to fit his sandal or his toga. Piquant stuff, Max. |

| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 01/05/04 at 04:07 AM We are too small ( relatively) in this infinite. Its our ego which puts us in the centre with this assumption of a God taking care of each individual crowd. |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 01/05/04 at 09:14 PM Just had to come back to this one: there is Rumi saying," What was their crime? They put on borrowed clothes and pretended they were theirs." It just seems to fit this piece. |
| Posted by Lindsay Sanders on 01/06/04 at 12:40 AM this is so well said and i completely agree. i have always loved that shakespeare quote, and this poem is a definite favorite! the last two lines just killed me with brilliance. bravo! |
| Posted by S.J. Tyler on 01/28/04 at 03:51 PM very profound. i always enjoy reading your work, even if i don't get to often. thank you for another great piece :) |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 03/08/04 at 03:06 AM Yep, it's when I start thinking I am He or that I deserve center stage that I am in big trouble. Cool poem, Max. |
| Posted by Thomas K. Hunt on 05/22/04 at 07:41 PM Ah .... never meant to take center stage....so true,the world deos not revolve around us |
