Touchstone, Tectak, Dale, Geoff, and Billy for the second like comment:
Thank you all. I appreciate the time you spend with this from the comments on the poem to the context that the poem lives in. This is a true first draft, and while I already thought about making some cuts before I posted it, I decided instead to just put it out here because I wasn't sure which direction I needed to hone in on. You all have given me the help I needed to refine this and take next steps. I'm really unsure how drastic the changes will be, but I do feel that I have a path I need to take.
Much appreciated!
Best,
Todd
