COMMENTARY ON NEVER WITH ONE

     I wrote this poem in nineteen seventy-two.  It was the very first poem I ever had published.  I had forgotten about it until years later.  When I first turned up in English 101 as a freshmen in college, the teacher asked us to write a short paragraph about ourselves.  This poem popped into my mind as a prose poem.  Someday I would like to find that piece.  It made an impression on my teacher that helped me swim in the direction that I finally swam.  There were a lot of eddies along the way.
     It was not until the early nineteen eighties in poetry school that I learned my lessons in line strength.  I would be curious to know it that prose piece complied with what I learned.
