here i was invoking the prologue of 'seymour: an
intro' and totally forgetting the marvelous beginning!

that opening is wonderful! and yes, i guess you are
right, that 'salinger thought a lot about his
readers'.

(i'll have to go back and re-think my earlier post;
maybe salinger is an exception. but i still can't
imagine poets worrying about their readers' needs (or
even who their readers might be) while in the midst of
the muse's visit.)
