No, not yet, but I'll look again. And insent, Lizard.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Okay. I'm not at home right now, and consequently I have no FTP access; it'll happen as soon as I get home tonight, all right?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
See if you can guess its cunningly-concealed trick.
STING, STRING - you're playing the Elizabethan first letter code thingie game.

I got it, I got it too! Only because Hec got it first you'll just have to trust me.
Hey Erica, this might seem incredibly petty and nitpicky, but your story has a number of missing spaces.
Like in this bit:
Your movements in the kitchen are both slow and deliberate.Katie takes this as a struggle;most able-bodied people do, in your experience.
there's no space between "deliberate." and "Katie", or between "struggle;" and "most". Maybe it's to do with your computer problems, but I just thought I'd mention it because I couldn't help being a little distracted by it.

It's now up at [link] (give me a moment to finish downloading the new Telnet client so I can reset the stupid permissions thingie so yis all can view it.) erika, I really hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of putting those spaces where they should have been, hit me if I shouldn't have? It seemed like a nice idea the time. I'll change it back if you care, I still have the original.

Very clever, Lizard- I like it.
Erica- I've put your story on my 'to read' list, and I'll get to it in a day or two, at which point I'll try and give you some feedback, hopefully helpful.

I liked the way you worked that hidden structure into the imagery of the poems too. It wasn't just an exercise - it was a little key to open up the box of the poem.
