An interesting little 'association' poem, or at least that's how it came across to me. There's definitely a good and loaded topic you've chosen with this, and I like how you've decided to present this poem. Some of your words are very visceral and conjure up a specific, vivid image, regardless of the actual brevity of the poem. One thing I would question would be a few of your word choices - some of it borders on the vulgar, and while I do agree that that is an envelope that was made to be pushed, there is still quite a lot to be said for good taste.
I especially like what you've done in line 11 with the palindromic quality of the line. I normally don't approve of playing games with formatting but in this case it works very well for you, and contributes to the overall feel of the piece. Very good work.
