What You Don't See Behind the Poem...
So I've been thinking about Fuzzmail (www.fuzzmail.org... a site that records everything you write, your first thought and what you delete or change.
Here's a visual poem for you, based on revision vs. first thought. It plays with that idea on how wording things differently can create certain images of people or events. I am always interested in "appearances" vs. "real life" or "real people/real families."
