Grateful that One Poem or Three Poems were published today in Oddball Magazine

       That makes zero sense. It IS one poem in three parts, titled The Sky of Potentions, but each part is a version of separate poems from the upcoming book, These New Orbs.

Accompanying the work is this sweet photograph by Edward Gault:



THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY (besides that I just said)

1) It (section 1) started as a stalker poem. That's right. It was a challenge, but when I showed it to the person...well, she might have thought I was a stalker. The end. 

2) It mentions orbs and round objects often, because that is the theme of These New Orbs. 

3) The theme is looking for relationships, longing for past relationships, and literally missing potential relationships. 


Metaphorically: But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.
