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

It has been quiet. I am guilty going into stalker mode myself lately. Regarding the poem comment above, one of the things I forgot to mention I liked about this post is that it has a very poetic feel. So I vote poem.
I have to admit, I hadn't heard of Beckett so I found a few of his poems on poetry foundation. They are quite obscure and, at times, in a jarring way. By that i mean there are parts that seem straight forward then suddenly go off into the woods. I'll have to keep reading!
Winter is finally giving us a good snow today. There is something about watching a good snow. Like white noise for the eyes.
Take care,
Bryn
