The Tangled Branch Discussion Forums

Someone sneezed in 77 AD -- not sure what the record of that is. Perhaps fossilized phlem. Since I moved to Colorado I discovered the existence of coprolite. They sell it! That is not as surprising as the fact that folks buy it!

In S.3 there is a yawing distance between the verb "listen" in L.4, and its subject.. It took me awhile to get why 'listen' is not plural, as written. Just saying.

Love the poem, love the discussion.

The title caught my eye Dave. Interesting stuff, though S3 delivers the poetry.

I stand on a street corner at night.
The sky has found its stars
while the air circulates in cool currents.
I listen hard for the rising bile
of daily life but hear only echoes.

Just a suggestion.
