This reads like an acid trip, I sort of like it. Last stanza especially is quite evocative.

Brad, it's so amazing to see the transformation of style you go through. I absolutely love this, with all the references to music and sound and... It's just absolutely brilliant. Great job, yet again.
Love and Light

like all your work this was no acception to confuzzling.... but it gave good imagery. weird imagery though:

aluminum cans crushed by a tire—no.
They sounded human, like laughter, longing,
a couple jogging through a percussive rain,
and as I listened, they grew louder, thousands
of small disks echoing one voice, words

yeah, this was me favorite creepy stanza... so yay....
but i also liked the very beginning as well... that was good.

The first stanza sounded familiar. Did you have that in another poem?

I loved the reference to music as Crysi said and the imagery was good as TBR said, but when it comes to reading the poem, I was having a hard time because I'm a speed-reader, and you can't speed-read this at all and it really got hard because the poem is so long. But somehow you managed to keep my attention so I guess it was good after all.
when there's nowhere to go, it's time to grow up.



Is anyone else desperately waiting to see themselves in the quote gen?
