I am grateful for this return: I am grateful for this return visit and kind regard for it, this poem that assumes naught but to be. Herein lay a gladdened heart.

This poem demonstrates your: This poem demonstrates your usual verbal skill, but that first stanza---especially those words "to get my mind / off my own mind"---deserves to be in the quotation books.

Thank you fine sir!  But I: Thank you fine sir!  But I only wish I was swimming in a pond.  I usually feel like I'm swimming in a circle like a gold fish in a small fishbowl waiting and hoping Junior remembers to feed me.

I am glad to hear that you: I am glad to hear that you are recovering, however slowly that may go.  A similar after-illness faigue has taken a swing at me during the last couple of days, and I have slept more this week than is customary for me.  I also have a painful minor procedure schedule---the catheter exchange---for this coming Monday. The second and third paragraphs of your comment contain an understanding of my screen name that few have held, or at least have shared with me.  I am screenshotting your words and downloading them to my personal files about my screen name, and I am so very, very, very grateful to you.

Highly significant visuals,: Highly significant visuals, shrewd yet very casual, organic wordplay and sharp freeze-frames at just the right, highly-charged moment . . . So much to unpack in a tight emotional space!   It all conspires to make this an explosive work of art. Poetry that really, really works! Love your style!

Sorry I'm just getting around: Sorry I'm just getting around to reading your latest poems. I'm slowly making my way back to the land of the living; still burdened with fatigue and malaise, so my responses will be few and brief for now.   I've often imagined this same sort of spiritual metaphor when you described, in several poems and essays, your harrowing, yet ultimately inspiring, journey from where you began to where you are today.   Here, your allusions to epic classics are striking, spot-on emblems of triumph over joyless, puritanical verbal assault. I'm happy that today you wear your resplendent name with gratitude, remembering the days when it was gifted to you like a blessed shield. May your experiences and the cosmology behind your name be an inspiration to those who still stumble in the dark while galaxies of living light wait beyond.   God bless you.

S74rw4rd commented on: Democracy in action by Teytonon 2 weeks 6 hours ago
They only see corruption: They only see corruption because their failed leader, the Innkeeper, has taught them to point out fictive corruption in order to deflect attention for their own political failures.  They have given into yet another "trumptation."  I have to wonder if there is any connection, fanilial or other, between Speaker McCarthy and Senator "Jumpy" Joe McCarthy from decades ago.
