Larry - this poem was so intriguing. I was really happy you participated in this contest and I love what you came up with! When I read the title I wasn't sure what to expect from the poem, and I like how it wasn't obvious.
I love the imagery and metaphors throughout this poem. They really helped me envision your poem. I love the poem from start to finish. I'm proud that this poem was conceived from a contest I hosted!! ;)
