Hi NN - no your read of the poem (and Kieth's) is probably the closed to what I had on my mind as I wrote.
Pickles - I actually agree with you about letting the reader find thier own path and story in a poem. I would not normally write a spoiler to a poem, not sure why I did so this time - not that I have actually written the whole story. For me the real story is the character development between the first and the last line. I guess I just found the reader notes very interesting (Chirs's in particular - a million miles from the image I thought I had written, but very valid when I looked at it with fresh eyes) these ideas have sparked a whole new thought process for what I could do with this poem. For which to every one who has contributed / commented - You have my gratitude.
