Rob, the title of this verse caught my attention ("Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man" was very unique). You have put your thoughts into perspection, defining yourself along the way as just one soul in a vast universe. Very clever! (I live in Tallahassee( Love, Carolyn

This is very funny but also very good writing. It reminds me of the objectavists in that it has an intrinsic value as a poem and piece of information. thereby endowing it with a use-value, and so it becomes an object. i love to see writers playing with their craft and demanding the reader engage. This poem act like one of those pulling-away shots that one gets in films and tv series that are meant to emphasise the smallness of the individual in the big scheme of things. Brilliant!
