'trains still have to run on time and they do; they’re everywhere, they are a dialectic courier of your vicarious “dreams” and funny words that look nice in the right order that you eschew or wish you could.' nice description of words here. i feel a sense of humor approach with this piece. taking about weird dreams. you can find a better descrpition rather than 'shitshow'. shitshow reminds of someone who goes on a drinking binge or people throwing poop.

I didn't think you let me linger on your opening image long enough for it to have a significant effect on me. It's a great sun-stroked fire-and-brimstoe tarmac highway image but I hardly get to glimpse it in my mind before you "back-to-a-nextline". How dare you not let me revel in your imagery.

I think "procession" is also a little ugly to throw in here, the sudden plosive pops quite harshly with the alliterative 'h's of the phrase, and "procession" itself is quite a nasty word. I'm not sure you pushed yourself to move away from that word.

You continue this tumbling feeling but again, to me it feels you have no sense how you should be pacing this. There's little thought for the reader it feels. Here, for example, you have two very shorts lines that clash. The "m" of line one and "s" of line two don't mix greatly - and the metre smashes together horrendously in the line break for me as well. It just doesn't read comfortably for my eyes.

This is your first break, first puctuated ideal. It wasn't important enough for me. If you're not using punctuation as a standard (obvious the case), when you *do* use punctuation, it has to be for a good reason. For me, this semi-colon is not needed. It reads like you've thrown it in because you couldn't come up with another way to phrase this. I just don't see this use of punctuation as special enough to warrat it's inclusion.

I think my main gripe is you don't give this time to develop into anything. It seems a rush to get to the end, with ideas and images not given due respect or time. Each line flows quickly over to the next and while that effect reads wisely time and again, in this piece I feel I'm rushing through for no reason - I'm not picking up your main concerns, I Don't have time to sit and chew the beef, only to smell it as I pass.

Allow me the time to tuck in properly and get the full flavour, myself as a reader is much more appreciative.
