Polly’s ear for rhythm is notable. Repetition—phrases echoed with slight alterations—creates a percussion that simulates both ritual (the wedding rites) and aftershock (the fallout). Moments meant to be celebratory acquire an uneasy cadence: laughter that “arrives late, like a delayed toast,” applause that “sounds like someone clearing a throat.” This sly subversion of celebratory language gives the piece its signature irony.
