Conscious Disregard

Floss also means “flaunt” or “show off”

I don't think I've ever seen any dictionary definition of floss used in that way. Could you please give your source--so we can learn. Google was no help to me. Even if floss did carry that meaning, the phrasing you use comes off awkwardly. I'm serious though about wanted to see the dictionary reference you're using (not sarcastic in the slightest).

I will definitely change it. It's slang, and apparently not very common, at least with this demographic. I just liked it because it can carry a double-meaning of showing off, but maybe without backing it up which goes along with the meaning of my poem. I have seen it in no formal dictionary reference either so I can't provide you with one. I agree it probably wasn't the smartest choice of words, especially when I tend to use older words elsewhere...mixing dialect was a mistake on my part.

I still can't make sense of that first strophe or even the line "floss my effervescence", the N would be saying whatever words they are speaking of (???) flaunt the N's effervescence (spirit?) which is gaudy and ostentatious? Trying to put that together with the 3 lines below it leads to lots of work for not much.
