To Elkapan On System Void

If you can see it in your mind
you can hold it in your hand 
I'd paint a painting of the poem System Void 
before writing the poem . . .
I like the creativity and the concept of the poem
You've got some great ideas
but I've got to solve a crossword puzzle 
just to get to the point of the poem
I don't mind the heavy metal words 
"androgynous eidolon" . . . "diuretic eustasy"
but I'd appreciate analogies or allusions to perceive them
I like the analogies you used like "cloisters of a new monastery"
and how you expressed the actions
I even like the analogy "annelids with searching mouths"
But I can't see an annelid . . .  I can see a worm
Why is it so important to specify the worms as annelids?
Why be abstract when you can be concrete?
A worm by any other name is still a worm
The senses are satellites of the mind 
The senses in action is Perception  
Science can be a sensory experience 
If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand . . .

I gotta hand it to you, M n m n I,
Your colorful language shows even as you wax poetic on a comment. 
It's great to see feedback done in the same context as the critiqued article.  It's great!
