Another solid section

I think one thing that really stood out to me was the pacing and delivery. Some ideas were content dense, and these thoughts were split between being lighthearted and being solemn. Rather than your piece seeming scattered, you used your flow of ideas and controlled the context of each segment so that these concepts could coexist without infringing on one another.

Never seemed rushed or conversely dragged on, just well metered

Only complaint is that some of the more serious concepts didnt totally engage me. I didnt really like h the Inches erased/ Inches untraced concept. Just a little bit needlessly overdressed. but the surrounding lines (dear John) were sincere and engaging


nice shit, keep posting
