Wow. Very long, but very nice. This blows any of my attempts at free-verse out of the water, that's for sure.

At first I thought the odd spacing were errors, but after I looked it over again, I realized it worked surprisingly well.

It starts out so well-worded and structured, but by the end the power behind the words is impressive. It's a good combination, and the transition was flawless.

Definitely one of your better poems. Good job!

Wow, impressive, I like it. I love the last line (definitely my favourite line from the poem :D)

I can only really think of a couple of things that I noticed but it's just little nitpicks really:

we chew a ham sandwich,


You switch from plural to single in this line so either make it "sandwiches" or "I" instead of "we"

which is 1/6 the time it takes


Write 1/6 as "a sixth". This just helps the poem to flow better.

gorija (my cat) and the bed (but don't sleep).


Something about this line just doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the poem. Maybe split it into two lines, I dunno? Also "gorija" should be capitalised.

Hope I've been of some help.



If Nate ever zeroes the count in "Count Up Until Nate Zeroes It", that zero should be immortalized in the quote gen.
