so, dave, i'm starting to read your work after being introduced to it through today's poem of the day. as in that one, the craft is good in this. and the thrust of it is certainly true- stats don't move like the single death of someone we love, someone close to us. and the time is long past to have sensible measures to stop gun violence and check the greed of the gun lobby. thank you. -glen kappy
