It's not 'between covers' because I was thinking of cupped hands over mouths, not necessarily only bedding although there's that, too. Chris: So I haven't been writing real poems?! AUW: Damn. Wish I'd thought of that! Jim: Nah, “well done ani” is so boring.

That'll work, I think.

Why can't I just say, "Well done, Ani," and move on? Shouldn't it be 'between covers'? Or maybe 'under cover'? The magazine looks dead cool but I have to say I found the white-on-black hard to read. Maybe I need new glasses. What is wrong with me? Why can’t I just say, “Well done, Ani,” and move on? Shouldn’t it be ‘between covers’? Or maybe ‘under cover’?
