A rose by any other name

[Hematite12]

"I like it"! The exclamation should be within the quote. This is grabbing, but as a reader I want this to be addressed later in the poem.

why are we always trying to strip it away
the things that make us the same
cliché, a rose by any other name This is intriguing, but I have no idea what this has to do with the theme of things that make us the same.
these things to me they make sense The structure is awkward, I guess this is because you wanted more syllables in the line? Try to find another way to do it, rather than this inversion of syntax and awkward grammar.
like 'short hand' or 'that old familiar dance'
love life, sign it your way Love life? Where'd that come from?
a rose by any other name....

"so is a cunt"! Move the exclamation. The line is shocking but this is just as unclear to me as the first quotation and the use of the cliche.

In general the poem really interests me, but it's way too abstracted for me to understand in its current state.
