A pensive poem of awareness that asks the questions: Who am I? Why do I exist?
Hope I've got the meaning right, it was just the way I percieved it.
Loved the lines:

Wow! Is one of the words I would use to describe what I've just read.

Dolly's really giving it to Aefelthrith, I wonder! If the message will sink in that she's had a lucky escape in not running of with Clarence.
As for poor Arry, I wonder if Gwladys will agree to take charge of the lad.
So much going...
