i am so glad you are aotm this month for this is NOT a month for fools. this piece is amazing, otto. the skill with this piece reminds me of a certain irish poet (or was he english?) that i studied in high school. left me kind of in awe of your budding talent. and here:

"STOP.
Potapsco Street is still,
as the blushing traffic light takes a brief hiatus from
green and yellow."

that blush...i don't know if i'd ever have seen it that way, but you took me there. thanks.

peace and 'nuff respect,

n.

ps watch spellings, 'k? 'hinderance' not 'hiderance'.
