And this line seems to have a whole story in it: <i>At the bottom of the bathtub I wring my pillowcase in</i>.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-48381284120156904122010-07-14T09:00:31.742-07:002010-07-14T09:00:31.742-07:00Hi Kat: That's an interesting observation!
