I consistently look for writers who can take something that is known or that is common and spit out words in such a way that it makes that “normal thing” seem much more dynamic… as in describing something to such a depth that you know what it is without being told its name. I don’t know… it’s like those lines that make you think. “… I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”  I’m not sure if I explained it right. But, anyhow: “or a city street can stare up at you / from five hundred feet below” that line was one of those things that sticks, sort of like the first time I ever heard about a sidewalk rushing up to greet you. So thank you for that, and very well said.
