Excellent! Thanks very much for the feedback guys! All noted! Billy, your feedback was pretty precise and developed, so thanks for that! I would like to say however, yeah I referenced Ginsberg as an influence but I would say my motives within this poem (and probably future poems) were definitely not of the same ilk as his. I wouldn't want to try and replicate what he has already achieved. My motives for the poem were to write something interesting with expressive ginsberg-esque language. I think that is my main love with poetry, the exploration of language. I wouldn't want to be too literal.
