"The holes are all whole" maybe "Every hole is whole" to play on the homophone more.

I'm pretty familiar with last day on earth type poems. They are cathartic, I don't mean it's ****, I just mean that it's nihilism.

There's nothing wrong with nihilism, millions of people believed Nostradamus when he said "In the seventh month of the year 1999..." and millions of people believed the world would end in the millennium. They want to believe it's the end because there is nothing certain and sure in this world aside from death.

Your character can take all this nihilism to the face every single day for the rest of his life because your words are beautiful.

The past few days I've lived in tragedy, starvation, sickness, pain, contemplation of suicide - down to the method and imagining myself hung from a tree - This tree is situated on a walking track. The track is dirty and old. It's an insult to every man who walks on it with eyes. It's an insult to everyone in this city and depressing to me.

There is one reason that makes it that way. My vision and the vision of others. That sight is a curse and a blessing.

I hope that he awakens and finds more terrible things. They're never more than him as long as he sees.

Nice poem.
