poetry dispatch & other notes from the underground 
I’m confused more by the comments here than by John’s poetry. His poetry may have taken me some time and effort to ‘get at’, but what of real value doesn’t? There’s a garden behind a house over at the university which is so inviting to walk into, but once inside there’s a riot of things to consider. You can enjoy the sunlight or clouds, the flowers, or think about their loss. There’s always a number of possibilities to consider, or not consider.
