You have recognized a technique of wordsmithing, crafting a sentence with an action and a place of action that do not fit together in ordinary life but that consist of words that would fit together in another context.

...Thank you all for your visits and your comments.<br /><br />Rick, you are spot on. :D Except of course my implication mainly applies to my own actions.<br /><br />And martine, yes, I did not set out to be self referential to the image but I ended up working hard to hone the implosion. I love it when things turn out by surprise like this. The poem had a life of its own and demanded of me the light of day.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-45620841764959595532011-11-14T11:45:28.338-08:002011-11-14T11:45:28.338-08:00Photoshop ... who would have thought?
