This short, potent, and eminently sympathetic poem has given me quite a jolt Ross..... Here is a truly serious, and probably fairly widespread problem, which is in essence tragic.... that I've given very little, if any, thought until now. Your intro lines:
'He accumulates, in increments,
Tiny bits of wasted time... '
.. pitch the reader into the heart of it immediately. ... They really stopped me in my tracks, opened my mind to the issue, and from there you set it all out so clearly, and in such a way that in the fragments and in the round, we can see that the afflicted don't live in comedy show.. it's real and it's gruelling for them! An important, arresting, and valuable piece of social commentary poetry.... jim
