  • This is narrative poetry, not narrative prose...

    A great deal is lost, actually -- for once, in such a Tuesday Poem -- by presenting it in a ''prose'' format. This poem has something fundamental in common with biblical Hebrew ''prose'', which many biblical scholars (including many of the author's fellow Jews) realize is a misleading term.

    HAP: By the way, Rabbit, I like your punctuation moniker. I have to confess, I used it once with a comma and kind of mapplethorped it up to personify innuendo, sorry about that (fun post, thanks). You're not the first, and you probably won't be the last. It does kind of suggest itself. wr ()() P.S.: Credit where it's due on the rabbit ears: ...
