Yes I can, as I was critiquing it within the poem's larger context. It was a descriptive line, but without having established a setting beforehand it fell flat, for me.

Quote:It means using the pulse of bass line like stairs to the stars. Haven't you ever listened to music outside as it just seems to fade away instead of echoing back to you the way it does in an enclosed building?

How was I supposed to grasp that metaphor, as at no point you mention stairs or walking up them? Be rude about my critique all you want, Erthona, but don't expect me to be psychic, or have acces to exactly the same knowledge and sensual impressions as you.

Quote:TexMex is in Texas. This is a scene from Austin Texas, you would hardly have streets called Mary and Congress in Mexico.

I didn't know that; thanks for clarifying.
