| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 03/14/08 at 09:42 PM Indeed. Your line breaks are effective in this - the separation of the last bit is great. "money sharpened" is a unique phrase. I like. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 03/16/08 at 04:59 PM What a swift and efficient slice you make into the densness of our consciousness. Your poem makes me wonder how much responsibility for our not noticing falls upon us individually and how much is product of the persistent and tyrranous grip of the economy. Thought-provoking and powerful piece, Mary Frances. Bravo! |
