   i don't know who you're referring to. perhaps you don't either.

   sorry, you're not making yourself very clear. who is suppose to get "near" my   
   poem? is someone supposed to get near it?   
      
   you're not doing a very good job explaining yourself.

   in what way is it cliche? i don't see it as being cliche. give examples, if you   
   can.   
      
   >Rod's "Listen To The Warm" comes to mind, JRS:   
      
   i have. i don't see that the piece, in any way, reads like that poem. so what   
   are you talking about?   
      
   you don't seem able to explain yourself, dockery.
