I heard:
Didn't figure I'd hurry off
To meet with bright eyes and just
Duck out, iron train waiting?
Fttt. You want it, you're six ways informed.
Union in dock in the outside
On Jersey onyx jacket when I knock,
Keyed for her transmission,
Your just cut is generous. Can't chug.

I kind of like how this was constructed, but in the end, it feels less like there's an actual message and more like a mad lib. There's almost a story here, and if you could have made a coherent narrative out of it, I would have been impressed. Now, it's more like "here are some words it could have been saying," and it's harder to say there was as much artistry involved. It's a valid way to generate a prompt, but it almost puts more on the reader to invent the story than the poet. Maybe another tickle was in order?
