Charles, what can I say, a powerful narrative full of warmtrh and humanity. The lack of judgementalism; the way that it's almost as if the narrator is saying 'whatever! ', is superb. 'This is the way the world will end... not with a bang but a wimper'
I'm utterly amazed by this poem. It's so real-life, Charles. Your words held me from the first line to the last. Very powerful. Thank you. Warmest regards, CJ
Wow. Your work just amazes me. The images pull me into the page. You bring these people to life in such a poignant way, sad but also with a hope. This is real Charles. You make it so real.
Charles: This is still another of your gripping slices of New York life. It is compelling and touching. It stands in the great tradition of Kerouac, Ferlinghetti and the beat poets. Have a very Merry, Happy Christmas, Chanukah! Hugh
