I thought it was a very clear depiction of that strange state of otherness - frightening and fascinating at the same time. <br />I like this poem, too - especially the part about your infant son.

I, too, have a long-held fascination for the subject, not least for what seems to me its subjectivity. In my teaching days I used to wish it possible to leave college and be employed as a headteacher, then spend your career working your way back to class teacher. It seemed to me that it would hold great benefits for school, pupils and the teacher.<br /><br /><b>Carl</b><br />The net of language has too coarse a mesh to catch it.<br /><br /><b>Jinksy</b><br />It was quite amazing to me, the first time he did it!<br /><br /><b>Jim</b><br />Much thanks for this. Will certainly check out the link.<br /><br /><b>Bagman and Butler</b><br />I do know what you mean, though I must confess that I find the activity satisfying at the time, but inclined to leave me with a sense of time misspent. <br /><br /><b>Victoria</b><br />I do agree with both of your points. I am inclined to think that the alternate dimensions are still to have their day. My reply to Eileen is as close as I have ever got to a concept of time running backwards.<br /><br /><b>Mishi</b><br />Good to have you visiting and commenting, and good to know that you liked the poem. Thanks for saying.<br /><br /><b>Gerry</b><br />Yes, it was a smart move on his part. I think now I would only move them back, though!<br /><br /><b>The Weaver of Grass</b><br />I'm sure it is, yes, but maybe that's where we can do most with it! Mayeb that's where it was created in the first place!<br /><br /><b>Hannah</b><br />Well, yes, it's my favourite, too - and for those very personal reasons, of course.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke</b><br />I'm sure that's true, but we've messed with all else... maybe that's the way we should go?
