Comment from SimianSavant
My two cents:
1) I would omit the parenthesis; I think the words inside them work better without parenthesis. I hear the words spoken a certain way in my head and the parenthesis imply a change in that tone, a breaking of the narrative wall.
2) Structurally, cohesively, this works better with just the first four stanzas.
But your story is compelling and interesting too. Your word play and use of vocabulary is excellent. Content wise this is a six.
