I've read it over 5 times. Who knows? It may be good. But it doesn't do anything for me. I don’t understand it. I’ve read it over 5 times. Who knows? It may be good.

Then my mind launched into the opening lyrics from Whitesnake/Scorpion "Rock You Like a Hurricane". It's early morning, the sun comes out
 Last night was shaking, pretty loud 
My cat is purring and scratches my skin 
So what is wrong with another sin? Not the poets fault. I like the poem and the connection it made in my mind. We all know what chores outside and on the roof mean. An old couple unable to have crazy animal sex until after the decrypted mother-in-law kicks off. Squatting the dog on her grave just to be sure she stays dead seems a bit paranoid to me but then I never met the bitch. Good stuffing! I was digging this all the way to the end.

Indeed I do. I love it because each sentence is strong and quiet. Nothing manipulates me. The poem just IS and forces nothing on me; no emotion, nor opinion, nor question. Each word seems carefully chosen, yet naturally there. And it speaks of human. Life. Unthunk. Unexamined. Unjudged. Yet all known. Present. Accounted for (without counting). So there.
