in the spirit of the times

You nicely mix your mediums with your metaphors.

I like this very much. The image is subtle; it complements the poem rather than overwhelms it. But the image also suggests some of the elements found in the poem -- ponds, blood, bodies, and stomachs.

The startling direct address, combined with a litany refrain, drive the poem with both force and immediacy -- especially when seamlessly blended with your integrated rhythms and rhymes.

And, at the risk of being called "morally and intellectually confused," I found your post well timed and well said.
