Re:
truthfully, i don't usually like explaining my poems (or myself) because i can't see what you see, and vice versa: my path through a poem might not be yours or the best...however, i feel that i owe you some assurance that this is not entirely random...my intentions for the Metropolis series were: to capture one moment in the city, just one symphonic instant and everything that fit within that matrix, (because thought is not linear), and grow it subtly from the first to the next and so on until the last (Metropolis XII) would be the final blossom of the idea. does that make sense?
thank you so much for the interest and comments, much appreciated!

so i ve been reading-it is captivating-and i try to figure out what exactly you are wrtng. about. is it like a sympony or some kind of orcestra-reading music out of a book (spine) and it must be some sort of classical music because it comes wioth so much depth and pain and impotance to the girl--but--where does Metropolis come in?? Are you in Milan at the Scala??? yes I know-i may be way off-but at least i sensed you are in the music field :)! That tells alot of your writing-as deep and complex as it is----you---still come out of it!
thnks for your comments
music man
