pimple, though could work as cheap death metal lyrics, perhaps. Has a nice, swift flow.

er, don't stop writing poetry--but do try to crit. The most evolution in my own writing laterly came from doing weekly anonymous challenges, where you have to crit every piece--having to not give away which one was mine somehow kickstarted my ability to see my own work from a bit more distant perspective.

Taking the second stanza out helps more than I expected. Still, the whole thing needs a lot of chopping and/or polishing. I _STRONGLY_ recommend attempting to critique other poems more than investigating your own at the moment. Post, soak in the comments, but put effort into seeing what you like and/or dislike about other's poetry, seeing how you can apply that to your own work.

toped->topped, I presume?
surfers -> surfer's, maybe
swimmers -> swimmer's, definitely
still frame -> still-frame
...
I think you might have an elegant image here, between the shredded lines. Still, it's somewhat generic; hard to rub a pearl out of it.

"gone by" repetition hurts; I lose the rhythm in "Let me know your experience", and there's not much non-generic to pull my interest fuerther.

doesn't work for me. I get the concept, but the flow stumbles.

I expect nothing, though honestly I was starting to worry with all the high votes on other recent submissions.

Had to get this one in for posterity, off the end of the lsat one. I'm sure someone will forgive me. Well, maybe...?

Your rendition of this continues to haunt me.
