Michael Shepherd - ! Dear Poemhunter Correspondent

Thank you for your last message; br it was good of you to write br and at such length.. br br I’d just like to say first br as a preamble br well a short preamble br let’s say a presprint that’s pre-sprint br br and as you must know by now, br I tend to be rather fussy and academic br about punctuation br though I’d like to say br that from my point of view br this arises from a love of punctuation br which is to me as br those pauses which lovers share br between remarks – br those pauses when their silent minds br rejoice in that unity of selves and br rejoice in the completeness br of their own self br as reflected in the lover – as br Plato and Shankara and others not yet known to me alas br agree br br so, that said, br and I hope you’re br still with me on this, br I’d like to mention what br may be a small point to you… br well, this is it: br br when you rounded off your very br self-revealing and self-analytical br study of yourself in depth: br br Love Sally br br I was drawn to wonder br if the absent comma br was an oversight.. br which can so easily happen br in these hurried times br br or perhaps a Freudian slip br which we might discuss at length br br or a deep wish, which br might have implications br for our formal relationship br which we would also need to discuss at length br br or simply a command br br I look forward to your reply br to what I hope you appreciate br is a sensitive and well-meaning br question which might forward br our discussion of your poetry in depth? br br PS there’s no need br to reply at length to this br possibly trivial matter br on this occasion..
