superb def 5

now, i got to go find something, elst i look like a fan

triumphant ly - here is your worst error. i don;t think you have reason for it.

I will venture a guess, this line gave you the most trouble:

and my own line in the sand mentality.

or this

This family should be wounded

picky, picky, what do I like? everything

in memories of last ditch effort roses

like that, like the short sentences at the beginning of last stanza

like the waver in the linearity

like the encasement, start with tv end with tv

Lovely.

One of those poems I will have to reread a number f times before they are "mine" entirely. Especially the title give the poem a possible meaning I will have to work my way around.

Great work, Desejo.

How far we've come! Well done.

My favorite line is "The instinct is strong to revert

reassert who you are not who you accept to be." I relate to this on a "human" level and as a woman who looks back and says 'You don't know sh@t till you're thirty." I love this and plan on "borrowing" "not who you accept to be" many times in my line of work as well as for myself!
