    Monotone reader, a poem that isn't a poem... but rather random babble

    The reader sounds bored. Probably should find someone that is invested in the poetry they're sharing?

    4/10. Rythmic, but the beauty of the chosen words is lacking and the voice reading is a bit lacklustre. The mataphors are a bit far fetched and the theme is all over the place.
