You've inspired me to allow myself to write an intro if I like because yours is so nice. <br /><br /><br />"I will not be misled by space" --great line. <br /><br />I like each of your poems and I disagree that they are dissertations in disguise. That is a nice point you make, though, that line breaks just make it appear as a poem. Brilliant, self-effacing, and funny.
