Thanks John. My intent here was an attempt at ambiguity between past and present tenses. The word "could" is still a problem, I think.

You may have to explain your intent to me a little more, does it have a point for the reader? is it something the reader can experience.?

My reading gave me a feeling of wistfulness for instance, and the "ambiguity" between past and present tense never entered my mind.

Hope that makes sense....JG
