I find it interesting (and disconcerting) that I didn't find the poem to
be all that disturbing. And I see myself as being an amiable,
non-violent person. Perhaps I have simply watched too many Hollywood
movies and too much American television and read too little poetry for
the written word to sink in as deeply as it once did... not to mention
having grown up in the USA...
