The suggester says, "It's the incredible building rhythm he's created through a rough-ish metre & internal rhyme. ~chadwood describes The Opus Of The Everything as being like a jazz moment, but it's more frantic than that; it's like a racing heartbeat trying to leap out of his chest."

all the flying jacket bees, and all

caught the glint of spring, who laid
it on the downy dew, the crispy green
of May fescue, who saw the plans of built
up lights that burn to light a thousand
pools of dripping rain and puddles lay
on any given night or day, the brick by
brick, the mortar spread, the snap of sugar
sweetly felt, the brine that made it
through the cloud, the opus of the
everything, the great and wide, the heat
of flame, the sun in cold but sunny sky,
the sound of when a child laughs,
the opus of the everything

When you make the two one, you will become the Sons of Adam, and when you say, 'Mountain, move away,' it will move away.

There is an understanding that nothing is ever black and white. Good can be achieved through bad means, what's wrong can sometimes be right, and if you turn right for long enough, you eventually go left. Boys can be girls who fall in love with girls who sometimes think they are boys and the lines between everything end up irreversibly blurred.
Or so I've always thought.
But this is a line that cannot be blurred. This is the only remaining clear-cut line that separates black from white as perfectly as a color wheel. And that is the fact that everything is until it isn't. We are until we aren't. We breathe u

It's one of those "jazz" moments when you're listening to the right song, on the right day, which all the right stimulus around you.

Amazing rhythm and the way you build it up is fantastic. This most definitely deserved the DD that it got.
