Marcus,
I like the "Windows Symphonic Sigh" part. That is something I've always wanted to put into words but could not figure out how to do.

LL, that's how I got it too.

Nancy, the cave of covers is merely factual. It's where I do most of my reading. When the *&?!#*$&! book light works.

Ordered. But it doesn't really come through Amazon. It's one of those "available from these sellers" deals.

L.L., I don't think you can order direct from John. Just the publisher. Though ordering from Amazon.com helps raise his ranking there, so I don't know what's best.

Heather, wordfarm published a book of poems called Tabloid News (on their homepage, I believe) by John Leax. Hilarious and awesome poems. You can read an excerpt here: http://www.wordfarm.net/books/0974342769/

As an aside, John Poch also edits one of my favorite journals: 32 Poems. While John Leax has a fun online journal called Stonework Journal.

Were you the one who told me about this publisher? They have some very interesting looking poetry (or interesting sounding, rather):

Love the fajitas and casitas thing. He's a marvelous poet. Any way to order direct from John?

Your poem is terrific too.
