Such heartbreaking bitterness, born of the perception of bleak and hostile inner landscapes in others (and yourself? I can't tell). On one level, it reminds me of your earliest poems on Psycho-Babble Writing, which seemed etched in electronic acid. Yet this one strikes me as carrying a tone of betrayal and anger that's deeper still -- an icy stare appears to have replaced tear-reddened eyes. Cold fury trumps hot rage in this choice of words, and the former is much more disquieting. Atticus
