Thanks! Two questions that sometime get me off the dime in such situations
if it's literal, how might it work as a metaphor and what is the opposite? Either one might put me on that other "avenue".

Re: Bob
Thanks, Naut. Sometimes composing is pretty straightforward, but other times it can be a surprise.

Bob
It's a feeling I've had sometimes, but I have never expressed it so well...

Not dead end. Simple words musing aloud. I like it.

I thought about expansion but then I liked it that the continuation is up to the reader or the reader can be satisfied with it as it stands, too! sam
