Very interesting and thought-provoking.
I read it twice.

the last line is perfect. it's got that punch that makes you think twice about it: sarcastic or not?

there's a hopelessness seeping through these words and that's how i like it.

i like the atmosphere of vacancy and the sorrow that seems to be seeping in to fill the empty spaces. you've captured that feeling just before a storm-- hushed, emptied, breathless. excellent as always.

i love the sweet little contradictions laced inside this piece.
the details really are captivating.
especially " precious set of nowhere children, orphans/of extinguished flames"
really cool thoughts and such.

to me, this is about life getting worn out, having nothing to do and living without purpose in some ways. i don't know. you might have a better explanation. still, i like this piece. its really lovely.
