the critic's gift

More has been read between the lines than
ever was written there. You have,

like everyone does,
the ability

to take from that whatever you want,
even if you put it in
yourself.

But what I meant was
less relevant

than what you have brought
to take out from it.

Interpretation is
creation as well. Take credit
for what you have done.

It's a perfect fit
you have given yourself.
And like everyone else,

you can step back and see

how much
is supported within
the text,

and how much
of yourself
you haven given to me.
