A Brief History of the Cosmos and Texas

The dandelions are wearing hats and smoking
cigars; everything on the sidewalk has

a name. Look at the sky: hovering drunk
drivers without cars or circadian rhythms.

I love the first and last lines, and I really enjoy the images of the middle portion, but I think, as lines, they could be stronger. I also think that the title is a little easy.

i think the title could be the first line.

for revision, i think i'd try putting syllable limits on each line, like Marianne Moore.

i dig circadian rhythms, but i think i'd dig them more in another poem.

that's what i got for you, sucka.
