Рецензия на «Sitting in a cafe» (Н.Н.)

nice. but perhaps in the line 3 it is "like Alice" since the last lines refer to "me"?

Thank You so much for Your attention! I‘m so glad You liked it.

I had considered putting „like“ in that line, but discarded it immediately. I had a strong feeling that „like“ didn‘t belong there. It‘s quite difficult to give reasons for a gut feeling but I‘ll try:

There is a shift in perspective: in the first part it‘s as if the lyrical subject were at the same time the lyrical object; the lyrical self, or at least a part of it dissociating, distantly observing that defamiliarized persona from outside;
and then going back inside, melting together again, beginning to feel from within.

I’ve just stumbled upon a very precise description: “ Я просто созерцаю себя созерцающего” Бронислав Виногродский

that's fine, the feeling is most important here, in particular if you wanted any shift of perspective. a good poem altogether, the sound is good, too.
