Thank you. I've been working for some time now on a process of manipulating found texts and then distilling them down into bare, precise pieces. The problem with this particular one is that I don't think I've succeeded in talking through this text-- arranging it in such as way so as to imbue it with my own meaning. I've manufactured the poem but haven't authored it to my satisfaction. I think I might take it back a few steps and try again.
Ooh! Process! I get all giddy and excited when people talk about process. What I'm trying to do these days is to create tools and processes which I can later go back and use. I guess I could say I'm in my R&D phase of poetry right now :)
