I read this piece today and just felt compelled to tell you how incredible I found its flow to be -I usually read a poem once -unless I'm really diggin' it -alot of your stuff I end up reading twice but this one -I went through three times -I can't put my finger on its appeal to me but I think what it is -I get hypnotized by the tight flow and I want to keep going and then it ends so beautifully -I'm completely satisfied -thank you for this -I am rarely this impressed -keep stirring it up -much love -
