In an odd way, this quite pleasantly presented...the way the poet (and make no mistake the creator of this work is a "poet") sets it up and allows the story to unfold into its receiver (as to not just presented like some aborted thing in black print :) ) in a way/manner that embraces till the very end...pause, space...puts forth the delightful ending lines: "and this was..." There's a sardonic smile in there/here somewhere :) !
