I see this is your token poem. People will have to get specific, and it's easier to be general. But just to be general, it's easily a poem in the land of song lyric poems. Easy in the '90s mood. All I can say is that the last stanza seems very loose, loose in the sense of this critique. Death and a gun and needles. The canon of the early '90s. A deeply loose vogue. That's the way the poem makes me.
It reminds me, too, of the kind of thing Jim Carroll would write.
