I like your use of alliteration in the opening line. Drew me right in.
The mood of your piece is cloudy with a chance of sunshine. The latter came into play during the lunch break; wandering in the garden, the conversation, the sandwich.
Then, back to reality, slammed with afternoon work tasks.
I happened upon your poem in Read and Review. Perhaps I have no business reviewing this, for I am no poet, but, wow.
The structure of your stanzas and lines meshes beautifully with the stark haunting text of your poem. There are no wasted words. Each one is a soul-wrenching death knell.
Dream on, Borb! I like your use of verbs to connote action...laundry twirling and tumbling. You decsribe an avid reader's lust for a book so engaging that you cough up more quarters for the dryer. Of course the fibers remain intact! Thoroughly enjoyable stream of consciousness fantasy.
