Already There

[JamesG]

I think for me, that though it is a very nice piece of writing, which describes a place and its inhabitants very well it seems more of a descriptive narrative, more a short story than a poem, in a way that something like Under Milk Wood does something similar (and longer), but is a poem. As I say, it is well written but it lacks a certain lyricism and rhythm to make it truly engaging.

Of course, I could be wrong...
