~Primus inter pares~ (first among equals) <> the risks the aspirations the trial and erroring of outrageous under appreciation
the silence, the unabashed frustration of our inability to right express the exact precision needed to redress the pile of self~unsatisfying drafts that need the evermore honing, whittling curettage of accumulated filing repeated nip and tucking
T his! makes us all first amongst equals, we, who throw ourselves again and again, at Henry's urging "once more into the breach" we foot soldiers who but toil alone in grande silence until we satisfy our innermost creativity are all so alike all of ^firsts^ among equals in this grande society of poetry addiction!
