"Will Dockery" <will_d...@outlook.com> posted the final
version of "The Ride (Combat Zone).

Will, I'm not sufficiently educated or experienced in giving
a useful critique of this poem; I'll bet Mike would do a
good job of that.

But it would help me if you could explain a couple of
things.  Asking them will make me look like a silly fool,
but I'm down with that.

I look at "Rastas" and think, huh?  Does this refer to
Rastafarians, those mild-mannered pot-smoking laid-back
folks from Jamaica?  Can that be right?  What am I missing?

And what is meant by "black" in "black pigs of poetry"?
