						 <p>these poems are all very direct, which is a quality in verse that can either massively enhance or kill a piece, i find. unfortunately, i feel that most of these fall on the wrong side of that line. that's not to say that they're awful, though! there's a real ear for the gut-punch last line and killer turn of phrase that shines through in this collection, and many of these pieces show real flashes. here are a few of my favorites:</p> <blockquote> <p>In the morning, I'll still be a privileged man<br /> But I'll cut until you're listening</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Sex sometimes is letting you<br /> Cut thatched things into your skin.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>I don't stalk people, I don't have the<br /> Discipline for that– hiding in trees, the hallways,<br /> the messages, the things you feel, your past,</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>One of these days I'm gonna cross that desert<br /> And realize that I'm not the man<br /> Who's gonna mend your wounded shadow</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>You’ve got a fillable hole,<br /> And a shapeable skull.</p> </blockquote> <p>all of these kick ass, but for me, when it comes to pieces of this length, i need every line to be dripping with this kind of power, and i don't think these pieces are there yet. that said, i think they're a little bit of sharpening away from being really fucking excellent.</p>
