Poetry floats (need a title)

[rayheinrich]

I quite like this poem, especially its complex allusionality.

But 'Bain'? My ignorance insisted I google it up and attempt
to find its definition amidst a jillion insistences that I really
meant 'bane'. While I love looking stuff up, it disrupted the flow
of the poem. If your intended audience knows 'bain' (same for Greek
gods, biblical references, Shakespeare quotations, Leonard Cohen
lyrics, quantum theory, etc, etc.), I applaud your conscious decision.
If not...


"I", he asided, "habitually limit my audience to readers familiar with
cat behavior."

Many good comments above (obvious weasel-out, must get back to cleaning
up xmas detritus).

Possible titles:
The Unbearable Lightness of Meaning
Classical Idiom
Syntax
