| Posted by Rhiannon Jones on 06/01/07 at 12:26 AM A perfect poetic progression! Condensed from blah blah blah to the simple truth. |
| Posted by Rhiannon Jones on 06/01/07 at 12:40 AM ...I mean, not that I would in any way intend to insinuate that you might be anything other than brilliant, and that being said, on the contrary, I would presume to suggest that life is, in its essence, and most basically speaking, far more complicated that it, in fact, actually is. |

| Posted by Angela Nuzzo on 06/01/07 at 08:56 AM Very cool layout, Laura. And I like your little comments to yourself at the end of the lines. :) |
| Posted by Richard Vince on 06/02/07 at 10:40 AM marvellous. a feeling i know well, arrived at in a way that suits me well. i'll try not to take the "stupidity" part personally. ;) |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/03/07 at 09:42 AM Laura, you illustrate the way life really works, the way we truly arrive at things, whilst feigning spontaneity, all the while cussing and scratching and editing our document till we have arrived sufficiently to the hillock of our inadequacies and surmounting that we sit on top and anticipate the eulogies to come with which to bay the opposition tickling our feet from below. |

I love your [inner discussions inside these]
(how do I explain that I was actually in suspense? was I hoping for help with my own clogheadedness?)

| Posted by Charles M Harrison on 06/04/07 at 10:56 PM Why do simple truths have to be so complicated? If they were simple everyone would get it. Wonderful poem made my day. |

| Posted by Jim Benz on 06/13/07 at 06:17 PM perfect illustration - except you don't have any explaining to do (because the premise of the concluding line is quite obviously fallacious) |
| Posted by Anita Mac on 12/17/07 at 02:12 AM I find this very cute. You don't strike me as the minimalist it makes you out to be, though... I s'pose I'll go on to see. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 12/27/07 at 05:36 AM You delve into the human mind and write poems within poems - You are SO TALENTED! I only think of doing things like this, where you take a step off the beaten path and have it come out incredible.
