It’s pleasant.
But I also dislike poetry that doesn’t have the clarity of an instruction manual
I mean, it’s too tempting to lose the narrative in the dazzle and glint of unexpected turns of phrase and imagery that cuts through the clutter.

It adds mystery to the enigma of what the author is trying to say.
It complicates instead of resolving
Elon Musk would rip this poem apart, too.
