Description On Mondays
I don my denim battlesuit
and march against reality
in tattered extra-wide sneakers.

I have bitten the dust
many times:—
it tastes sweeter than honeysuckle.

Bound in my plastic prison
I create hurricanes of my drinking water
I create ambrosia of my pride
I create men of my many shadows,
each falling away

behind me as I stride
onward into hungry daylight.

This is fantastic. I love the way you talk of many shadows... I immediately thought of the reverse (the environment with multiple light sources) It has an excellent urban feel to it, as well as being about personal experience (because it's written from the 1st person perspective) Almost like multiple personalities or just the different Jungian shadows of a person's psyche that we unintentionally reveal.
Brilliant, it works on so many levels
