... i may be very far off, but this is what i think about when reading the poem

While I could provide a detailed explication (most of it has a logical basis and a linear narrative),
that was not the purpose of this poem. If it was, I would have written a short fiction or historical non-fiction piece.
In this poem, as in most of my poetry, you're supposed to create a meaning/story/feeling
that's all your own (I have one, but I consider it all my own and don't want to bias your creation).

This is a lovely explanation of poetry. Sometimes I write one like that and I love it like a jewel, so much fun to see people focus on a facet while I know I've turned it every which way.

There is a difference between vagueness and a poem with its seeds firmly planted but the final product still wondered about. As you know.
