| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 05/23/09 at 07:39 PM True for every generation, age takes from us what ever we inherit and gives us what we earn; your shelves, my shelves, the entire cabinet of our character. What a ponderous verse, Chris. Thanks. |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 05/23/09 at 07:43 PM Solid symbolism. Indeed we are made up of those "memories". Greg's comments very germaine. |

| Posted by Kris Mara on 05/26/09 at 12:44 PM this is a perfectly rounded piece, from the first line to the last (which works so well to tie it all up right and tight) -- I agree with the "solid symbolism" comment -- that really says all that you've captured here. I'm putting this on my shelf :) |
