Of Two Minds

You are the light

                                                           Pollution
                     Of my life


                     You are sound

                                                           Intrusion

Revisiting this worthy winner, I realize that -- flattery being the sincerest form of fawning, obsequious bleah-bleah -- I just about lifted your format right off the page in my poem, "A pill is," written two days later (June 15). Were I a doctor, you could sue me for malpractice! :) gw
