this poem was actually published, lovingly, by Unlikely Stories! 

I love it when the poem strings out with one or a few words per line
and I don't have to worry about paper waste (in the digital world,
supposedly) . . . here's an extreme of that, in my world, at least . . In The Stars, several short-line poems . . . larry
