You had me at the first line. Both the imagery and the assonance in this piece is fantastic and so very clever. I believe "pinches" in line 6 ought to be "pinch" (if I am reading it right, with fingers as plural) but that aside, consider me wowed. 

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
