I appreciate that Sue, and I: I appreciate that Sue, and I beg forgiveness for the delay in responding. Life was catching up with me, and I had to pay attention to it before it actually passed me. ;)
Well, that was the breeze: Well, that was the breeze running through my ears, and I just followed and reported. I'm glad you liked this, and followed its travel.
My non-fictional take on this: My non-fictional take on this is the exact opposite. In the sound of the Innkeeper's name I hear the echo of jackboots like in Berlin, 1933; Rome, 1922; and Yekaterinburg on July 17th, 1918.
Nice job. You’ve expressed what ..: Nice job. You've expressed what more and more people are feeling about today's world. The rhythm reminds me of 'Eve of Destruction'. Was that a conscious decision?
This poem is a great: This poem is a great testimony, but the correct spelling of Divine should be implemented; and perhaps also check the use of "Thine" and "Your" is a stylistic inconsistency. Just sayin'.
Sister I ain't privvy really: Sister I ain't privy really how to talk too pop-properly these days, or feel confident in summoning anything more than a mere mumble, but one thing I'm damn certain deserves, for it's crazy warmth and worth, at the very least, an attempt, by raising a imaginary glass during this here dry fast and cheersing you with hearty thank!
Oh but darling I already had: Oh but darling I already had quite a few still turning in the chamber of my brains, like a game of russian roulette, so that when you delivered your delightful compliment, one of such consistency that is the highest hurrah! in cherished quality also to that reaction I have upon receiving, out of respect for your starting statement, I rushed to change before returning to give great thanks, with a name I hope is befitting which we now both can appreciate, honorary, in reverence to your very own divine grace, always absinthe-proof as a best-friend blessing to this page
Looks like you changed your: Looks like you changed your name again. That's cool. Disregard the first sentence of my comment, but I meant what I expressed about your writing. Always enjoy reading you.
So where is he going with: So where is he going with this, I thought, and then it hit me: no topic was the whole idea. Enjoyed your cleverly convoluted stream of consciousness studded with flashes of wit.
"Every new idea is essentially a clone of itself"
Must quote that!
Great job.
Not sure if your new name: Not sure if your new name fits you. Your work is anything but ordinary: startlingly clever, sometimes enjoyably snarky and satirical and far far more than meets the eye.
I don't think I've read a more spot on, metaphorically blazing definition of this extravagant nightmare, this twisted nation "like voodoo puppet projects" or "sharp tools" swaddled in designer velvet. You're still a legit word wizard, my friend, and, as a nice little bonus, you voiced my own exasperation in the notes.
Delightful, acerbic, edgy brilliance.
