First Edit: My Friend Back Home

[Richard]

Hey Keith,
Thanks for the feedback and kind words. The meaning for "layoff" here deals with losing one's job, but I find your interpretation interesting. I always enjoy when a reader comes up with an alternate meaning than my own for something I wrote. As for the dreams, I intend on doing some revising for that. Revising Dreams... sounds to me like a good title for a poem...

Thanks again,
Richard
