this is a joke, right? or some sort of less-than-slow descent into madness?

divorced, of course. the poem is more and less than it appears. think of it as the frayed hem of the fatal arras that unlucky polonius chose. watch for more. oedipus is working on his archery, and writing about it, and i have some new slots to fill on the reanker. i like having a theme.
