Thanks Dan. I’m not sure how you mean to squeeze those first 2 1/2 lines into "A belief, a certainty?" Maybe those lines aren’t needed.

i wrote this with my g/f, she wrote the first line, i did the second and so on... she thinks i f*cked the ending up...

"Stroking his brows of sandy shade, that earliest smoothness with mustache and hair graying." The poem starts here for me. "A belief, a certainty?" Everything you are trying to say in the first 2 1/2 lines should be told in this line. Love the last stanza. But criticism aside. It's a -10- as is.

P.S. The real-life Fraser Allonby got married last weekend. He's now on honeymoon in Sardinia.

I think we are talking at cross purposes. I am using the phrase "it is possible" to mean "it is a possibility as opposed to a certainty". You are using the phrase "it is possible" to mean "it is within the realms of possibility as opposed to the realms of impossibility". Adopting my meaning, I am correct. Adopting your meaning, you are correct. You can't say fairer than that.

Two propositions x any y are equivalent if, and only if, x implies y AND y implies x. I think it's obvious that B implies A, but not obvious that A implies B. Both hold in my opinion, though I can understand you disagreeing with the latter - since that was your original argument - but to disagree with the former seems a bit odd. The case of B implies A: If B is true, then B must be possible. So A is true. I don't think there is anything wrong with saying that something which is certain is also possible. Of course it's possible. To say it is possible is a weaker statement than saying it is certain, but it is nonetheless true.
