Hi Stephen - great to see you here again. I liked your use of imagery in this poem, it made me smile as it pulled no punches.

As you know, I have known you for some years now - under your various names - but I still prefer Paris. Sometimes it is better to stick to one, as you normally have to refer to a previous one anyway so people know who you are. Unless you wish to be anonymous from time to time - which I sometimes like to be ;)
