[insert nostalgia here]parts of movies i can only just remember (although the titles are forgotten) remain buried somewhere in my head. chunks of cheap ninja movies. bits of trashy vampire films.
it's probably why i'm so weird.

a choreShe sat comfortably with subtle sounds in view of a window. If she could make a window, she thought, it would not be square, or even round. Perhaps a triangle in stained glass displaying a wide colored hue of blue roses upon her very chair. She pondered a window beyond a window, and accordingly: a house outside a house. It wouldn't do to have a triangular window floating outside, not attached to anything but a notion. There could be a whole stack of houses like Russian dolls, and the opening of each door would provoke the door beyond that to open provoking the next door in line. If there were so many homes just leaving would take forever, shea chore

We all fall downTonight, I am consumed:We all fall down
words spinning through veins,
blocking the oxygen to my brain
until I am asphyxiated
by consonants and connotations,
vowels a malignant tangle
like the rush of water,
the scream of sudden silence
that comes after –
Tonight, I am constructed:
a mere reflection that glimmers
once across your pupils
before soaking into your retinas. A paint-by-number set
you memorized years ago
and lies buried beneath
half-finished projects on your coffee table.
Tonight, I am smothered casual

I like your ideas, but the words don't flow, and they don't seem to be chosen very carefully. There is no technique -- and I don't mean the kind of bullshit technique you learn in a class somewhere, I mean a personal voice. Sometimes it almost felt like you were reciting. Imagery had potential, but you stiffened it with mediocre metaphors. Still, your ideas more than compensated for this. I'll be keeping my eye on you.
