    What’s the movie? Trying to decipher ! But liked the two poems Brenton.

    Your rhythm is impeccable as always. There's always such a strong beat to your work and with this sort of double poem here it's almost stronger. Great poem!

  • I don't eat shrimp but the mention of sandwich made me hungry hehehehe. Loved your poem!
