I like this just because it is so far from anything I could attempt. Wild change of rhythms, offbeat pauses, funky style. It reminds me of this publisher/poet I once knew and for the life of me cannot remember the name. If I find his books around the house, I will mention him, because I think you would like him. He is all over the place and snubs just about every convention. A bit like this and some of the other work I have read of yours. As far as the poem, I like the concrete images I can piece together (i.e. opening and ending), but the middle loses me with the rambling. But I have a bit of a traditionalist background, so really what do I know.
