This is a strange comment, because of where you posted it. Dan has his mailboxes, why don’t you use them? You probably refer his Hollywood Shoeshine Boy, and your interpretation is too simplistic.

Knowing your usual subtlety, I look for other meanings. Dan has posted far fewer poems in the last few months than I have, so your comment, “writes loads of poems,” must refer to me. You could have said so. I accept that I have not learned much and therefore often find it easy to finish a poem and move on to the next one. I think I have improved through the process.

Thank you, and please feel as free as zodiac to speak directly. No, I take that back.
