No one has commented.

Rejected today: Maybe? Sort of? Maybe not? Who knows.

Phrase I'm still laughing over from the weekend: "Dirty redneck," which, admittedly, isn't terribly original but in context became infectious.

Hi Paul -- I just arrived at your poem from last March that referenced, among other things, kelpy choirs and luna moths having no mouths. It was beautiful! I was googling saturnidae moths and not expecting to find poetry. Thanks!
"Dirty rednecks" doesn't need to be original. As we both know they aren't very sophisticated.
