Tom, I think dead needs the and before it & to be double spaced down to give it that pause for the denouement, highlight the wryness

Excellent, Rashmi. The subject of posthumous fame is ever intriguing, but I can restrain my impatience to know the answer! (In my opinion, there's no way I'll ever know)

Cheers

dear Rashmi

If time is an illusion there is no Young or Old

No young God or Old God

No young soul or old soul

yes smiles do exist

thanks for the pick guys - great honor - really thrilled!

this was inspired by a book about artists who died young - shelly, keats, byron, hart crane, stephen crane, janis joplin, jim morrison, james dean etc etc.
