Well done John. I always love reading concrete poetry. don't write enough of it anymore but at one time it was a minor passion, having studied with a true master BP Nichols. Anyhow, what impressed me about your work is the obvious time and effort put into your diction choices. Not a word out of place, no jars or broken shards of an image or metaphor, each word effortlessly (for the reader, not the constructor I am sure) pushing senses along. Always on the edge of control, but never out of control.
