[Achebe]

you say I flatten myself
but what is two dimensional?
the other side of your wall
my hissing clan at rest ... incomplete sentence?
until the floor reverberations smooth .... I am struggling to understand the literal meaning of these lines 
TV glow we know
corridors of baseboards
byways through this space before and after
95% of species
that 5% you miss

Hi kole - this one read to me like a bunch of disjointed sentences. Unless there's a compelling argument from beauty, I think a poem needs to make sense when written out without the line breaks. 
So while I got the oblique reference to roaches surviving the Permian extinction + 'surviving' pest control generally, it's not clear to me why the point couldn't have been made with punctuation and sentence structure within the poetic form.
