A fact that enhances the poem quite well with just the right feel of whimsical otherworldliness that is all the more familiar and serious because of it. You paint a very important, stark message that reads like one out of some of the better novels I've read. Kudos, Xr.

I actually wasn't sure if I should post it or not, because it was one of the earlier poems I wrote (I became more interested in poetry this year when I traveled to Chile and studies several Latin American poets, so this is really the first year I attempt to right poetry seriously), but your comments have re-affirmed this post.
