.........If
Nelson Mandela
..........Found....
'Solitary confinement'
...A
Presidential qualifier
...Then
.............Why
......................Not
..............................John McCain

2. Poet Dorothy A. Holmes' commentary...intuitively grasps the poem's
intent....emphatically characterizing...its critical distinction!
