Maybe. But oh, thanks for the Ferlinghetti poem. He's one of my great favourites, and I didn't know this particular poem before. I love it so much that if I'd encountered it anywhere else I'd have been using it in one of my columns for PU some time soon.

I relate to it a little bit too much, because yes, there is a lot of beauty, but it's hard to enjoy it with all of the other negative things swirling around in the pool. But I would argue that it is impossible to fully appreciate beauty without acknowledging that the negative exists, because it is just as much a part of the picture. <br /><br />Great poem.
