Change of style, but I suspect Chang is the culprint of that. I am so not capable of writing anything constructive so I ought to end this before I try! I've been reading so much Dante lately this poem has paralyzed my brain.
I like it mucho!

The last lines are very effective, as is the imagery of the potato cutting. Well done.

matter-of-fact is the perfect phrasing for this. i like it a lot. the potato cutting is such solid sturdy imagery that it backs anything else you have to say throughout the entire piece. mhm.

oh dear god. that was so very sylvia plath. i adore the last stanza, and the mad imagery... favourites. in fact, possibly my favourite of yours ever. every poem you write is better than the last, its making my adoration seem less than genuine, but i do assure you, it is gorgeous :P
come online, dude. i must speak with you.
love you.

I like the auditory imagery of the hissing and spitting oil, and the incorporation of ambition. Yeah, it was matter-of-fact. Very cool poem.
