oh, ok.
i don't like the way capitalizing looks most of the time.
maybe it's word equality. monospace fonts are my favorite; monoheight letters look like they fit here...

first of all, no, my snooze button adds nine minutes to the alarm, so every time i push the snooze, i go back to sleep for nine minutes. as a result, my dream is fragmented...
and second, what is that song supposed to mean?

you might be right

not the best for some cases, but as a coach pushes an athelete to perform, i also pushed my technique too hard in this particular instance

the 'it' of the second stanza refers to an object in the fire

unapt?

the thrill of pushing too hard being the theme, and letting something burn too long a specific instance of this.

engaged in, causing, or encouraging the consumption of food, materials, or goods, especially in a wasteful or destructive way

that's pretty close, especially: materials, destructive
not speaking of tuberculosis

it is a great word, thank you

an awfully dramatic safety manual.
I work as a sculptor in an old mechanical engineering building, circa late 1800s i think. 1930s would work too. it was one of the first buildings around here, and i don't think much maintainance has been done on the place over all. a sort of wierd inspiration in itself...

what do you dislike about carbonless?

thank you for the clarification, which one hangs down and which builds up?

thank you, i would hope a poem about sculpture would offer that.
any in particular you enjoyed more than others?

sorry to disappoint, but perhaps i was looking for more of a tie back to the beginning rather than a climax. this seems to be a(problem?) theme in the writing i hae done lately. any suggestions?

thank you for the clarification, i do think my use of symbols is blatant (guns, genatalia, etc.)in some cases; people often get upset about it, but i suppose the symbol itslef is not blatant, just my use of it... thank you again.

i know it doesn't really "fit," but am prone to doing things like that. desperate like jesus, i like that...

i'm not sure of your meaning there, am i overly critical of mortal beings? or is there a specifc line or lines that i abuse?

apparently some ninjas use short stocky pieces of wood called mai poles to train on. they stand on and move about these to gain balace, agility, precision, etc.

hold on.
what?
what about the words in this poem put a skirt on?

stealing is a moral decision. i am glad you like it. it is an abrupt ending, but i had hoped it to make one want to start again from the top. it could be its own stanza here i suppose...

i wear a skirt?
