(Naha! Lookit at me finally getting a chance to comment on this!)
I certainly do appreciate the notes you wrote up at the end of the poem. I like reading them, but I also like how it gives me a much stronger sense of what you were trying to achieve. And I feel like there's quite a few ways to read this poem (not all of which I can word), so for me having the notes also gives me a stronger road map to interpreting it without that interpretation getting tangled up.
*rambles* I love the last lines especially. Even with the discussion surrounding the poem, they can have multiple layers if that's how the reader connects to the poem. Might not be quite what you were aiming for, but there you are all the same.
