Hi TqB

I have come back to this one a few times now.  I can't say that I understand it any better, but I do really enjoy it.  For me, it has such an unpretentious surreal quality about it that I don't mind not being "in the know".  I find reading it like over hearing a broken conversation not meant to be heard and trying to figure out the meaning without proper context.
I do find the title a little frustrating trying to  parse that out.  I sort of read it as a transitive description of the relationship between the "characters" but not sure how that translates or if I'm even right.
Anyway, thanks for the read.

Hey Bryn,

Thanks for stopping by.  It's been quiet here....  and where's Rowens?  It's kind of creeping me out.

But as to the (I hesitate to call it a poem) poetic dialogue:  it dates from 1981 though I've never shown it to anyone before.  I did do some editing, but not much.  Back then I was heavy into Samuel Beckett and this was inspired by his writing, though he never wrote anything quite this obscure.  But I wanted to have random words that would still carry the tone of a logical conversation, even an emotional one (the last part).  I think.  Hard to go back and reconstruct, I just know I never tried it again.

Sorry I have no explanation for the title; suspect I was just playing with typography.

I really do appreciate that you appreciate it
