thanks, sometimes feedback is harder to understand than poetry 
this is an edit an hour after the fact.
i have to say sorry;
i like an idiot never registered the title. like an idiot i went straight to the poem.
i came back and saw the title as though my eyes had been cleaned out.
it puts a whole new slant on the feedback i gave.
now i see it's just a poem about reflection. of mistakes made of things done.
i see a sort of melancholy a regret tinged with understanding of hindsight.
the last 4 lines now work much better for me.
the allusion too. all in all it goes to show that the title plays an aggressive part of a poem
and as such should always be thought about.
