Allusion is cool and postmodern, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Fabulous lacewing image.

In reply to James. Yeah, I've done that! It does help to have regular readers, doesn't it? I just wish the WordPress developers would hurry up and introduce a better search function. I think that was one of the projects at this year's "summer of code."

I’ve worried about that too. A few months ago I posted a poem on my site and a friend commented that she liked it, but thought the last lines sounded familiar. Terrified, I googled like crazy to find where I’d stolen the line. Later I found that they were from a poem I had written a few years earlier, one that I had shown her. Even though I had only plagiarized myself, I still didn’t like the feeling.

In reply to Dana. No, I insist that you come back here and unload all your thoughts. Or better yet: blog it, and send a pingback. It sounds like it could make a memorable post. Glad you liked the photo!

In reply to Bill. I was dreading that question...

How do you say "dread"? Dreed?

“Surely it can’t be too difficult to learn to distinguish one’s own unique vibrations from anybody else’s.”

I have a whole world of things to say around that statement — getting at the shifting meaning of the word individuality and what is unique and a whole musical tangent that could take thousands of words to get into.

But I am tuckered out. So I will save that for when we talk next. And for now, I will just say — great freaking photo. Hi, lacewing!
