I disagree with Coda one - namely because I was interested, charmed and touched. I like your analogy and your choice of metaphor, I've felt small and harried before too. ( also hairy but so not the point)
As for coda two... Well I often get sucked into my own head and ponder the deeper meanings of deeper meanings to the point where I can't live with something too long after I've made it for fear that it will change too much between inception and revleation and I will no longer be able to see what it is and pick, poke between the lines (figurative and literal) and unravel it back into chaos.
My thoughts spiral and it is dizzying. Clarity is exhilarating and I'm reading that as the simple thrill of being.
I love your poetry, I just never think I have Anything great to add to it. :) (edited because typing on a phone is hard :/ )
re Coda one: your explanation gave me more clarity on the whole squirrels thing. small and harried (and hairy :D) and running circles is definitely what I was feeling.
re Coda two: ah, glad that you edited. for a while, I was having trouble figuring out exactly what you mean. but yeah, my friend referred to that at feeling as spinning tires in the mud. clarity is like being able to finally move out of the pit.
re poetry: thank you! (haha, I was so confused when it said Anthony. I kind of liked reading your phone comment. it was like a puzzle to which I had no clue where the key was)
We did talk about it once, about how I felt I was discovering other aspects of me, not just Spock. Stuff like that.
Huh. Why not squirrels. Interesting. I kept thinking of a John Donne poem where he compares love to a flea.
(Monty Python ftw!)
Phone sessions with DrB take place in the oddest places. It's weird because I always need to feel safe and relatively undisturbed (for obvious reasons). I find out which places feel safe to me. I'm drawn to the oddest corners of the house, but mostly I go outside.
"What is the point of including this coda in the body of the poem?" Coda = tail. Squirrels have tails (although only one each, not two). Check this out: http://www.shady-acres.com/susan/squirrel.shtml We agreed already that you are both Spock and Kirk. There's a lot of Bones too, imo: taking care of beings. All the meta with DrB sounds a good, reciprocally involved, fruitful relationship (as opposed to a co-dependent one). May I send you a page about a monster? It is Star Trek, but K/S is not even mentioned, so perhaps you may feel like reading it.
I can imagine a squirrel with many tails (I was going to type a tail with many squirrels, and then a squirrel with many tales. Indicative, much?)
Thanks so very much for the link!
It definitely gives me a lot of confidence to know that he's willing to talk about the nature of our relationship and work through whatever that means.
And feel free to send the page about monsters. I"m all ears.

Bones I need to think about.
I disagree -- I found the poem interesting, and its metas upon metas quite fascinating (transparent form). In the end, I thought: Why not squirrels?
(Also, LOL at the thought of herrings cutting down trees.)
I'm glad you talked to Dr B.

That was a bit random. Forgive me.
My friend wrote about mosquitoes once.
