Hi Achebe,
Some really nice thoughts you had. I appreciate the interaction. I'm always reluctant to explain why I made a choice. I want to be cautious of spelling something out and then having people see it. The poem needs to do that work on its own. Please realize that even if I don't reply to your comments directly in the thread, I'm considering them for the revision.
Much appreciated.
Best,
Todd
