Metamorphosis of Mind

By Alexander Holmes

This sequel to 'Rhymes from a Hive Mind' reads as rap lyric style poetry but using a variety of scientific vocabulary. I paint a new elaborate scene with every poem, while sustaining suspense with gut-wrenchingly vivid imagery. Themes range from personal struggles to existential crises to the fragility of moral integrity.
