notes on mass parts

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.
