The Atwood poem deserves much more than a cursory reading by me and I will come back to it later when I'm in that kind of space.

And, the thought of you not being able to do exactly what you want to do with words....well, that makes me laugh because its just not possible in my imagination.

I loved "& the word<br />splits & doubles & speaks/the truth" maybe always & only the poet's truth?
