contemplation of an existential existence

I've read this a few times. Oddly, I'd like to comment backwards, beginning with: There's something I just love about the last two stanzas. I think you manage to say a lot about the relationship between the writer and page in very few words there and it flows well.

All that leads up to it -- I like it, but some of it feels forced, or perhaps just doesn't flow as well. In fact, now I'm wondering if that's on purpose - a "rough-ish" beginning, better flow in the dialog, then a great ending (the writer succeeds!).

I'd love to hear other comments, and also what you're thinking, Kat. (And welcome aboard!)
