A linguistic technique, in which one inanimate object will be given either the characteristics or functionality of another.
Interchremamorphism can be displayed in the verse "And as the soldier marched away from death/evading his rival force/his cheap ignitor lit the way/and sent the final boats ashore...", giving the ignitor the role of a lighthouse & enemy bullets the role of boats.
