Keep doing what feels right to you! When reading this I felt "Cutting through all the bullshit and finding who I really am"

Ok, that settles it :)

The format of the piece helps me feel the internal distortion. It's like I am trying to complete a thought that refuses to make sense of itself.

Y'all are being too kind. I wish the words fit the image better tbh. But then the question is, is the poem the image or is the image the poem? Idk!

I like the wavy version more. It is gives it the static fuzz.

Loved the Burroughs vibes in this one! And though I get the radio waves graphic element, I preferred reading the traditional version

I should probably know but do you have examples? I'll dig in!

Sorry, but examples of what?

Of which Burroughs works to which you referred. Or maybe it was a title?

I like the wavy version! It opens the poem for more interpretations, and is nice to look at :)

Thanks for that! These visual style always appealed to me, like Lewis Carrols mice poem in Alice in Wonderland.

I should have more confidence, but it was a monday morning after all 😴🥱

The two versions make me *hear* this differently, and sorry, I love both.

Ah, see, I should have stuck to my gut instinct. Thanks for the note!

I LOVE BOTH

I preferred the wavy version: It made me fell like a radio wave being broadcasted - it made me feel like coming into resonance as the structure became tighter.

Expand full comment

Dude, thanks, I feel heard.

i loved the words.... but the spaces in between confused me! would you mind explaining it briefly?

Expand full comment

Ok, I added the classic formatted one. Which do you prefer?

Expand full comment

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it worked, but figured to try it. Maybe I'll post it without the spaces too. I was kinda trying for a wavey feel. Appreciate the feedback.

Another cool usage of spacing all over the poem! Such fire 🔥

You can illustrate beautiful with drawing, I'm only a troglodyte with a space bar :) haha

You showed me the possibilities of creative spacing in poetry, and I can only thank you again!
