I like that it reads as much a commemoration of a person as of a place. Cause when you move around places seems the nostalgic longing you have for memories there is often overcome by the fear of realising nothing will be alive in the same way it was when you were there and living it. That single word set out how it is: "Br'other" seems to stutter out all that otherness, separation, distance and comradery in one little word. Love the lines:

'why rare?'?....eye guess given the # of pieces i've posted & the # of 'reads', it's 'rare' that any of it is 'worth' any 'comment'.....but ultimately that's okay 'cause
i gotta keep my 'process' spontaneous &
am not into anal'ysing anyone's writing, including 'my own' neither technically nor qualifyin/quantifyin it's emotional content.
I meanlikeyknow aye do try to give supportive/humorous commentary to others whilst 'taking pains' not to project the ego-poop of my precious hyper-intelligence & supersonic perceptiveness of MyO'pinology....ha[?]
or something like that....it's all just 'idunno' type-stuff, & probably 'best' left that way
