yes

Good stuff tho
- Not in a confrontational way but can you (or anyone) break down why this is a good? I'm sure I have a shallow view of poetry but I'm not seeing anything in it that is technically impressive
  
  O I am not a poetry gurl, I can not break things down, I’m so sorry! I just like the strange e.e. cummings structure and the ennui of it all.
  
  Poetry isn't just about being technical, it's about communicating a thought or feeling. I relate to the feeling of time slipping away, and this poem communicates that feeling in a very effective way such that I feel a connection to the writer. That's all.
  
  Many great songs are simple and not technically impressive either, but still people like them.
  
  Coltrane once said of jazz: "if it sounds good it is good". It's okay if it doesn't speak to you. Maybe the responses here gave you a different perspective and you could appreciate it. If it still doesn't it's still okay 🙂
- Great poem, I just started reading her first book.
This feels like so many strings of thoughts I’ve had. Disjointed. Scattered. Words and images. Feelings. Slipping away.

I had no idea who Kyla was until I saw this post. I still don’t know, yet I know. She’s me. At least in this one respect.

I don’t even write this way normally. But I do think this way. Music.
