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