This is a lively, collision-heavy set. Nearly every poem turns on impact, ricochet, or comic disorder, so the group feels unified without becoming repetitive. What works best here is motion: chips flying, balls banking, crowds swarming, gossip bouncing around. Even the darker entries keep that sense of sudden contact, which makes the word CAROM feel earned across the board.

This batch leans heavily into burden, and that gives it cohesion. Sleep, cliché, remorse, guilt, kingship: each poem shows a different kind of heaviness being carried. What works best across the group is how often the final word feels truly weighted, not just inserted. The set has a tired, rueful, end-of-day mood, and that mood holds.
