Amid You

her “c u there”.
it felt more like 
“i) better c u there” -

and) I think well - to each her own;
each) stair climbs upward
because) of traumatic lovesickness
(against) his better judgment!

instead) of her patronage
(under) heavy assault!
inside) his fort-knox
(with) her electromagnetic call…

possibly) peter in the frying pan
(not) well to be content -
with) contemptuous tinkerings
(amid) his flaming guts.

they are more for the feelings associated with different prepositions, how the prepositions themselves almost tell the history of feelings from beginning of complicated relationship to current., and because prepositions are usually skipped over, just like the feelings we associate with those changes

when you use the parenthesis, does it give the sentence a double meaning?
