Notes

  • Dedication: To an editor who despises metre and rhyme.

    Sir, may this verse which you reject

    take hold upon your intellect

    but not completely. May it be

    alive on the periphery,

    ever threatening to tease

    your memory and destroy your ease.

    May you dwindle, peak and pine

    hooked like a fish on half a line.
