'You have to have talent to peddle a thing so nebulous and without material form.' Wonderful expression indeed.

'They'd like to see through me, but nothing is more opaque than absolute transparency.' - A strong, powerful statement!

Women should get their rights and wage. There should be women empowerment. This poem is very nice and excellently penned. A perfect modern poem of the day is chosen.

Yes. Powerful stuff. Peggy is good at putting herself in other shoes. This could almost be an anthem for workers.

Crush out the mystery/wall me up alive/in my own body. How easy it is to identify with parts of this poem even if the rest is not so easily applied to our lives. I dont like how it seems so choppy and opposite of a smooth flowing poem, but I like some of the lines that have such great emotion in them.

I found this poem long winded, weak, and achieving little.

A rich tapestry of words knitted tightly together - this poem begs to be read over and over again to squeeze out the maximum meaning. Loved it. PPPPPPPP
