that cover reminds me of the board game "snakes and ladders."

in other news, i wonder if the lyrics to "the larger bowl (a pantoum)" really ARE a pantoum ...

Well you can be the judge of that for me, here are the lyrics as they're written in the liner notes:

if we're so much the same, like I always hear
why such different fortunes and fates?
some of us live in a cloud of fear
some live behind iron gates

why such different fortunes and fates?
some are blessed and some are cursed
some live behind iron gates
while others see only the worst

some are blessed and some are cursed
the golden one or scarred from birth
while others only see the worst
such a lot of pain on the earth

the golden one or scarred from birth
some things can never be changed
such a lot of pain on this earth
it's somehow so badly arranged

some things can never be changed
some reasons will never come clear
it's somehow so badly arranged
if we're so much the same, like I always hear

that's actually quite close ... they took some liberties by slightly changing "some of us live in a cloud of fear" to "some reasons will never be clear," but other than that, wow.

so you know, the only reason i know about these stupid things is a poetry class i took in college. also, because i wrote one. damn things are a bitch to write because, as you notice, if they get too long, they get really repetitive. still, props to rush for that!
