As always excellent poem (with that great sense of narrative and pop culture allusion you utilise so well) and reading; smartbluecat says it well. And kudos to tinySpectacle for the editing, it is always great when such talented YouTubers collaborate. Five ***** and favourite.

There are about a thousands stunning lines in here that force me to see things differently--and all put together, this poem says something, the goal, I believe, of this here art form.

I like that line from the Billy Crystal movie about being in the Mob: "You're good, you..." It says what it says, and it makes me laugh, but the goal really is for the Reader to say just what you said. In fact, that's the whole deal, whole enchilada.

Lo is great isn't she? Very cool that you guys help each other out... you're both fantastic. I love how your work lives and breaths. Perfectly crafted little snapshots of elsewhere.

You read like you are telling a story from your own life, perhaps you are, and that makes it all the more captivating. I really enjoyed this one, your first that I have seen. Must explore further. Regards, Andrew

@EllyMcCormack Thanks, Elly. (I'm trying to walk off a close-but-no-cigar from a top-notch American publisher; it's tough to do this thing we've committed to doing. I'm sure you know what I mean, too!)
