Thoughts on my poem???????

It's obvious that you either have a large vocabulary or a thesaurus nearby, if the goal was to be cryptic then I have no critique. However, if you have a message, sometimes you need to not be so dazzling with your synonyms and just paint a picture that the reader can understand. I'm not saying to dumb it down, just maybe be more strategic. If that had been a song it would've been a wall of sound, as in just unceasingly and monotonously large. You could've let me move along through the poem a little bit rather than having stop and decode every single line. The last bit with the imagery about knots is fantastic; it has great prose and turnaround
