Thanks, Sparky; the "poet"-in-the-third-person, of course, being me? Glad this is music for your ears...but don't get the the "OTT" reference, this piece's sans baseball. The "images" are juxtaposed to the enjambment of the tanka (haiku, S6) structuring, ergo the "unexpected pop-ups," to which you were, presumably, unreferencially astute. H'H.
