Fascinating like a snake here is that you are sounding like the rational lobes. John Kendall Hawkins does similar, talking about maniacs in the careful tones he kind of has to, because he teaches students. One imagines that gave you room to say that about wants/ so that your wants could grow outsize..." compelling because it does not let us off the hook, have to watch where this goes, since you do not give the mic to an untrustworthy narrator.

I am indeed a trustworthy narrator. (Just what an untrustworthy narrator would say...) Thanks for taking the time nate, your comments are little poems in themselves ^_^

I read that to say un- reliable. And then was gratified to see you acknowledged you were being honest. Loved that visit to your medium deep past childhood. My version of that was that I was in the middle of a nest hoard of toys. No money up top of my parents finances, 2 thousand dollars a year on toys for me i donot have any idea where thst money came from.

Damn this hits. “so we would want for nothing

until our wants needed everything” . More more more I want more of this poetry.

If I am an avid consumerist of your poetry does that make me a better consumer?

Don't consume poems... merge with them osmotically
