An Old, Scratched, Blemished Poem [performance][experimental]

Quite a unique poem. Your use of [skip] was effective, except that it grew slightly tiring after your near-excessive use. Sometimes I can tell which word the missing letters are taken from, sometimes not. The title is perfect, however. It really has an interesting sound and made me want to read the poem.
