[Newspoetry] whither newspoetry

[Robert Porter]

William,

This is the first message from you that I've gotten.  Sorry you've been 
trapped in newspoet's limbo.  Listserves are a great way to communicate, 
except when they're not.  Glad you're back in the zone.

Speaking of something else entirely, can someone explain to me exactly 
what it is to "tuck in"?  Rumsfeld has adopted this as his latest favorite 
catch-phrase.  The only other time I've heard this was while reading an 
article about drag queens and the stuff they have to do to eliminate, um, 
bulging.  Rumsfeld can't be talking about the same thing, can he?
