Of the five that could have won the prize,
four are good for what they’re about
and any could have won
if the fifth was good for the same;
but ‘The Modern Shroud’ is the one that won—
big, all right, bigger than the others combined;
definitely done in one session;
not good for what it’s about;
good for what it’s not about—
for leaving a lasting impression.
