Thought Market.

Hey Ryan. This reads almost more like a thesis than a poem. Nothing inherently wrong with that but the long lines and odd punctuation make the read more tedious than it needs to be. I would give each idea a little more room to breathe. Example below.

as a cacophony of unanswered margin calls ring loudly. "loudly" is dull adverb. Suggest reworking this line. It's the weak point of the poem.

Objective thought is shorted into capitulation.
I think I removed one comma and one period where I felt they were misplaced. For me the tight 4 lines made the piece read more wordy than it actually is.
Good Luck with it.
