resp:4  Julie is a cat lover, so she'll respond to any statement 
regarding Bast..

resp:2 resp:3  Agreed.  Short is good, and the assonance is a nice
spice  to an otherwise free verse.  The spacing is another wonderfully applied 
touch.  I believe the text not only makes a concrete picture of a  feather fall
in their position (not in meaning), and it sets a  predetermined pace for
reading.  e.e. cummings was a master of using  space to pace poetry and I wince
when a reader recites it in an almost  traditional meter the poem so clearly
breaks.

Give yourself a pat on the back-- this seems to be a classic among your 
works.
