I'd love to respond and comment more, but I generally don't know what the hell is going on.

That out of the way (shake shake shake) I'd particularly like to thank you and the rest for your comments on this one... you have ascribed me some depth when I've been fearing the shallows, uhhhh... so to speak.

Yeah, you got the cause of the cracker state right, alright, I know. Harmony's tender comments, too... and yeah, Al, I laughed hysterically when I first put down "cracker crumbs", well, silently hysterically... But, yeah, the middle, the holocaust hard to follow was the heart of the poem, uhhhh... so to speak again.

Sorry to speak to you en mass like that, I never understood personality all that well, and I'm sure that says something I won't be able to ever clarify. If I say I'm just too self-centered it'll ruin my poems for the reader even more... (:

Whoa, weird mood tonight alright.

Cheers, thanks.
