just to note sources, the poems were written to the parts of a mass that my friend rob strebendt wrote for a church choir i was a part of last year. (all the prepositional phrases!) they're written for (kinda) e.m., who for the purposes of this series (that, in part, of doing a kind of reverse later-john donne thing) is a dude, but not in actual life.
hence the title "mass parts" is pret-ty literal...that is, it's a metaphor (?) grounded in uber-literality! and don't worry about what it's a metaphor for, because i'm not worried about it.
huzzah for first drafts made overly public! no, it's not actually all that public. but still probably too public.
