The last line seems anti-theme. Being consumed and pushing don't quite go together.

A Right Brain cannot get this I know, but reading your poems quickens the synapses, releasing the fluids, like squeezing blood out of silicone. Never change your style, only grammar sometimes and maybe the occasional hint of logic.

If I were to put a hundred and twenty anthropologists in a bag. Forty believing there was such thing as race and eighty believing there was not. How many anthropologists would I have to pull out to be sure of at least two agreeing. In the light of this is your correspondence with DA really worth a 'at least we agree... that is more than your average'?

And to think zodiac insists you are not racist! At least we agree that race exists, that it represents real physical diversity, discussable as such. That’s more than the average pair of anthropologists can agree on these days.

What's even funnier is that it's immediately preceeded by an even more popular cliche, "Shall be performed in twinkling of an eye." I shit you not. D. Faustus is like cliche reference book.

At risk of this conversation turning to fawning mush, yes. That one line's as good as the entire rest of Val's career, even including Willow.

I loved that line in that movie. I always use it and people are just like, "huh?".

"Imprisoned from my ribs"? I'm sure you have an explanation why you used "from" rather than "in" or "by". I'll save you the trouble. It doesn't work.

There's no easy way to say this: I think it doesn't work.

I'll tell you, most people are going to think Val Kilmer in Tombstone saying "Ah'm your huckleberry."

Nice Concept

Great imagery in the 3rd stanza, otherwise, I found it difficult to follow, breaking from rhyme quite often without needing to.

Yes, but as a nonbeliever, it doesn't count if I say it.
