Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Could you put it in three columns across? Or would that be too obvious?

No, sorry I wasn't clear. I was thinking all three variations in three separate columns, so the reader could revel in the cleverness of it. :-)

Hmmm... I'm not sure that works any better now that I see it. Sorry, this is pretty far from my usual areas of knowledge. (Ask me about hyena sexuality or how to make cider! I rock at stuff like that!)

I come from a strange world where poetry is as much meant to be heard as read. I'm always impressed as hell by clever multi-level things, but my brain is saying "Cool sounds."

I see that- it's probably why I'm struggling so much with this.

Glad for your opinion, Theodosia. Tell me about hyena sexuality some time!

I think my problem was that for days I was trying to read it as "acaustic acrostic", like some version of autistic or acoustic-- until tonight just after skating I went oh! A caustic acrostic.

But I could just be Stupid Reader.

Me stupid reader too.

I even looked up "acaustic" to see if it meant "not caustic".

I suspect it's not stupid readers, it's me trying to be too clever. It doesn't really work, does it?
