I can't seem to make myself stop talking...

This one has some good elements as well. I think the book could be read as a metaphor for a number of things, and while I'm not sure exactly what you were thinking of as you wrote it, I guess part of the beauty of poetry is in the interpretation. Nonetheless, I think the "Why?" poem may remain my favorite for the night. Either way, bravo...I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. -Jenn
p.s. You may have seen this as one of my away messages recently, but here's a quote on poetry for you: "[Poetry] may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves."--T.S. Eliot p.p.s. My goodness I'm a bit verbose tonight. I apologize for the massive length of my commentary.
I love it when you post poetry out of the blue. I like this one quite a lot. Of course, my favorite will always be In The Green Seats...but that's a personal thing.
