They smell better that way. Peaches are more fragrant than roses if you leave them alone. But who wants to do that? Whether in a bowl or not, all pears and apples are bruised.

You, Peter, (and do pardon the comparison to the juvenile) rhyme so I may not even see it if I weren't looking. I still swear this is free verse with accidental happenings in the internals, because I've not seen such a thing successfully accomplished since I read some Plath. The Idiot Friend is my favorite, likely due to the parenthetic (strange task) which surprised me from nowhere and drove the poem forward. Enough back petting, though, else it'll seem I'm in awe when I'm really just impressed. Maybe my ears are amazed while Voodoo sits here thinking about the weather...

It's somewhat out of fashion to use rhyme, but you do it so easily without evidence of force or imposing silly rhythms. And the content is rich and interesting. I especially admire A Solipsist's Sanatorium! These are magnificent poems, Peter.
