Do I even have to say anything? You know I loved it. How could I not?

Is unmissable a word? Heh, it kind of distracted me because I was wondering if it was or not. Anyway... I liked it. It was really... cool... Couldn't really find a better word.

I think you did have fun writing this.. at least I hope so (judging from the way it reads, until part of the last stanza.. almost grimly optomistic).

Now. third line, first stanza. what the heck? ok, I'm not a huge fan of this effect, so I'm rather biased against it, and I'll leave it at that. 4th line, commas. the effect works, but I think commas are a clunky way to do it. also, lack of pronouns in that line was a bit confusing, but I won't harp on that. "turn interactive"? ok.. aside the fact it sounds plain wrong (intentional, maybe?), the metaphor, at least what i gather of it, is a bit of a strange one as presented in this stanza.. and.. oh, doi. never mind my comment about lack of pronouns. it works quite well (now, how did I not see that before is the question, if you even ment it that way..like talking is asteriks).

second stanza lost me a bit. mostly the way you tied the first line in with the previous stanza, while I usually like this if done well, and it started out well, it ends up sounds clunky to me.

last stanza I rather like. once I got past the wording, that is. fisrt few lines sound wordy, but I think that's more style now, than anything. third and fourth lines..i don't know. found them rather omnious, truth be told. last three lines.. yeah.

Paid? LOL i think you enjoyed writing it.... Anyways, i liked this part:

You are the show, the show is unmissable
and if you like it, it will run for several months
until a cliched cliffhanger where somebody cries
and somebody almost dies. But the lights will
carry on dancing and the actors will play their parts
in this dark theatre of everlasting lust.
