An ambush,
An onslaught;
Any kind of change this irregular default.

When we handle those kinds of stars.

Qwertyuiop - A Silly Conlang
I originally intended to make a joke of a conlang that could be typed using only as a parody of home row bashing for emotional expression, but that didn't work. Having one vowel can be pretty restricting, even when you give it three phonemic lengths. So instead I moved a row up, and this happened, a conlang that can be typed with . The orthography is fairly straightforward; is /kw/ Stops : p t kw Approximant : w
Tap/Trill : r
Vowels : e i y o uHere are some glosses: Qe wire ty potwi. PL banana ST stale
The bananas are stale. Tiri we pitere or-qi. child PERF smile against 3s

The Clinic of Uncomfortable Probings
I’m not sure when I first got the idea to open my clinic – if it was during medical school or later during my residency. In any case, it had been kicking around the back of my mind for some time. I remember during my undergraduate – I think it was my freshman year - I was studying at USC and I had a major crush on this girl Erica in my political science class. She was a Jewish girl, with long black hair and pale white skin. I later found out that her father was the dean of the medical school, but at the time I just knew she was artistic and quirky and I was sort of fascinated with her. Anyway, I was a big fan of this director David ...

I try to avoid wearing shoes,
I try to avoid wearing shoes, even the metaphorical kind. There’s something about being touched by every blade of grass and affectionately scratched by every crack in the sidewalk that dares me to take another step. And sometimes I need that. And sure, after a while you find your feet stained black with asphalt, and some people think that’s ugly. Once or twice, you’ll probably notice a friendly piece of glass in the side of your toe, but at least in my experience, there’s always been someone who will gladly knock a stranger’s door and ask for tweezers. Maybe wading through waterfalls means I’ll spend a third of my life with the sniffles, ...
Born of being nervous about travelling abroad.

How can we fend off our doubt?
Central-nervous system.'
Still, I'm excited though.

Perhaps you could italicise some letters in 'trembling' to further emphasise the thought there.
I really like the line breaks and the way you have phrased things here. You've managed to capture the tone and mood of the person well.
I do think that 'For in them is hidden...' is a bit too long? It's also a bit awkward to read.
I also think you could break up/phrase this bit better:
Any kind of change the irregular default; sometimes we're unmade
For handling those kinds of stars.

Just something to break up the length and keep to the form of the poem there. It would contrast well with
The same way sentential structures keep their words together like prose.
..which I kind of like, length wise, because it mentions the idea of prose, and prose is typically long and goes across the page fully.
I'm not too sure about the ellipsis at the end. Perhaps you could just have:
...and maybe just a little salt
Make it so there is no punctuation at the end, which leaves it more open to.. well, it reflects life. Perhaps it indicates the openness to chance, or fate.
I think you start to lose the rhythm and phrasing a bit after 'For handling those kinds of stars'. It starts to get a bit loose, and not as cutting as the first bit... I suppose it does reflect what you're describing as the person dreams and such.
It's quite intriguing. I like the flow and the way we've travelled on a journey here, even if it is indirect.
