More in Ode to Displacement Ode to Displacement
You are the motherfucking queen of alliteration and I bow to you. I honestly thought this was pretty consistently rad... so prepare yourself for an unhelpful comment!
The first two stanzas are golden (perhaps even goldener now that you took out the golden IRONICALLY ENOUGH). Cliched thrusts.. heheh. Hearsay/heresy is quite clever. The only thing that didn't seem to fit in to me was the fourth stanza. It's quite good amd everything, it just seems like a different poem to me. I can't tell you why, I'm not sure. Though the last two lines of it I do like. Maybe It's just the nursery rhyme regression thing... because I disagree. What's so regressed (??isthisaword) about nursery rhymes? I may just not be understanding that line due to my sheer unbridled insomnia-inspired lameness. Oh and neeeat Sappho allusion. I totally love me some Sappo (obv).
