also it needs to be more poetic. This is virtually prose, and undisciplined sprawling 1000 words an hour prose at that.

This is another dualsitic dilemma of human consciousness. Brain is supposed to control everything we do. Yet we can talk about brain as the other, exhaust it, overload it, although we are again supposedly not able to do anything without brain's permission. An unanswerable riddle. That is what the poems wants to express.

Are you mentally retarded? For one thing, this isn't Dovina's string, it's mine. And I see you haven't even done me the courtesy of answering my questions. To recap the high points:
Q: 'Doing nothing' "made all the difference" from what? Do you mean to say you know how your life would have turned out if instead of doing nothing you'd decided to, say, whemy yourself blind - so that you were able to measure the "difference" between the two outcomes?
You're confused. Here are examples:
1) Doug Soderstrom, Ph.D., does nothing.
2) Doug Soderstrom, Ph.D., buys a lottery ticket and wins $1,000,000.
Difference: $1,000,000 minus the cost of the lottery ticket, to say the least.
Of course knowing the difference requires that Doug, Ph.D., know both outcomes. To wit, suppose instead that he just bought the lottery ticket and won the million. He might say, "Jesus! Just imagine if I'd done nothing. I wouldn't have won the million dollars. Buying the lottery ticket made all the difference." Of course, he'd probably use a lot more ellipses, but you get the point.
And of course he's wrong. He could have being doing nothing and just happened to find $1,000,000 under his couch. Then buying the lottery ticket or doing nothing would have made no difference. HE JUST DOESN'T FUCKING KNOW.
And of course, you didn't think about any of this. You just half remembered Robert Frost's much better poem and lifted the line whole. Well get this, buddy:
Robert Frost didn't say "Taking the road less traveled made all the difference"; He said, "I'll say, 'Taking the road less traveled made all the difference', because I'm a bum."
You said, "Doing nothing made all the difference." Do you get the distinction? I bet not.
As regards your aboveposted comment, you're dangerously wrong. Please, please for the love of God give it up. And answer my fucking questions or I'll whemy you into nonexistence, I swear.
Love, zodiac

Fingering would indeed be decent, as used in the phrases "The police informant fingered an innocent Negro" or "You should see the way Jeremi Handrinos fingers his bassoon."
However, I meant fingering in the indecent sense. Who in the world wants to be decent, anyway? Certainly not Liz Bishop.

Votes make it more clear and exact, depending on who comments.
I liked this a lot. Didn't spot any errors. (but was i actually looking? nope)
Flowed well.

There you are!!
Personally I don't bother much about votes. I appreciate comments more because it helps me know what exactly one thinks of my poem and it helps me improve.
A 9 from me.

But it's important to poetry. They mean different things.
Spelling PHASE as FASE is acceptable and infact quite fine. That much of liberation is fine but YOUR and YOU ARE means two different things and can never be used as substitutes.
Could you please read my latest poem too? It's another acrostic.
