This was a really enjoyable read Hugh. It was very inticute in parts but you also speak much truth in it. It's the sort of poem I'm sure even my maths teacher would like! Brilliant, and the end, I feel, is totally justified. Well done. Best wishes, Seán

EXTREMELY clever and witty arguments leading to a most humanitarian finish. Love it, love it, love it. With great respect and admiration, Gina.

This is very clever and well written. I won't hear the term 'crossed the line' again without thinking of this...and realizing that lines should be love. That's the 'bottom line' after all. :) Raynette

Hugh, absolutely superb. By turns (by line?) both funny and insightful. As a poem, this is Intelligent Design.

Once again, you've given me some real food for thought. This poem has so many layers and deserves to be reread several times in order to peel away each one. Great imagery (lines on a mirror, evanesant demarcation) . Loved the Lithuanian joke too! That'll be a 10 then. Big hugs Anna xxx
