I was in outer space originally. sorry about that. As far as ideas, this is not a collaboration, but a workshop; I'm sure you'll think of something.About the second verse, what you guessed at was correct: just before the scream, the narrator thinks about his neighbours and for the moment he hates them for being there. It sets up a train of thought with the narrator that modern society in general confines his "wish to scream" (which could of course stand for many other things...) and that there is no escaping it. Would you have any advice how to make this clearer in the poem?
All best!
