the letter combination "AL" in that order or reverse, seems to occur alot in the poem, 8 by my count

[Chris Yates]

Not far, but too far to walk



there are a lot of "to"'s in the poem, and one "too". does this perhaps hint at the word "also"?



there are 2 occurrences each of "all" and "so". what i find most interesting is that in both cases they are in the same sentence

[Chris Yates]

"halt" and "cease" share a lot in meaning. there is going to be a connection between these 2 points of the poem. itootrt (in the opinion of this random thinker)

if you looked into the mirror of the poem, maybe you would see William Marvin Fenn

There are a lot of opposing words (mirrored?) Begin-end, far-near, walk-halt, warm-cold, brave-meek,new-old, etc. The poem may be about reconciling opposing forces or ideas or concepts.

in my war for me, in the story when Fenn begins to explain what happened in the year his awareness took its first few steps, he mentions his body being tired and then there are multiple references to altitude



itootrt (in the opinion of this random thinker) this relates to <i>tired and weak</i> giving us the proper elevation, and it doesn't do it yesterday or tomorrow, but today, in the present



part of the idea being as you climb higher, you get more tired/weak, and the oxygen gets thinner

<b><i>"If I lived back in the Wild West days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like, "Hey look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink." </i></b> - Jack Handey
