I love that this is a super-rhythmic Golden Shovel. Hard-hitting beats to go with the content.
You real cool. Poem too!
You got rhythm, Shaun! So so fun.
An enjoyable read
Neat! Its got a playful rythm to it! Thank you
Great job with this form. Love the pacing and the way some of these multi-syllabic words hit – my favorite is “Want/cigarette. Got oppressive debt.”
