Next in Time (edit of To Salinger's Seymour)

[brynmawr1]

Mark,

Thanks for the read and the comments.  I was all set, after first reading them, to argue about the first two lines, but I slept on it, and decided you are correct, and Seymour would agree with you.

However, the title is important to me, so I'm keeping it and adding a spoiler to explain who Seymour is.

Hi Tim,

I like your poem as the imagery is there so emotionally it works for me.  I have to admit I don't get the deeper meaning.  I am not familiar with the Seymour character (I did look it up) so that probably doesn't help.  I am familiar with Pheobe as an oracle at Delphi.  I get lost with the twitching tail, cat prophecy reference.  And if I'm being nudgy, the way it reads sound like it's the tail that is doing the pouncing.
Thanks,
steve
