        The shift in the unseen eyes as the thread takes hold, suffocating and spinning; a meal for me, an annoyance for you. In the corners you don’t check, a cornucopia of opportunity as yet another morsel is discarded, attracting them by the droves, your apathy to your own glutton as forgotten as the coconut you keep under your bed. (And, scene.)

      It does probably help a lot with poetry, too, to look at the world for what it is, rather than navigating it on auto-pilot.

      I think you hit the nail on the head here. Very few people are capable of examining their loop for what it really is, let alone going off autopilot.
