| 17 | I think that I could write formal poems \ | ||
| 18 | exclusively, or at least inclusive \ | ||
| 19 | with all the other stuff I write \ | ||
| 20 | I guess. Of course, I've already written \ | ||
| 21 | a few, this one included, though "formal" \ | ||
| 22 | is maybe a stretch. Is blank verse a form? \ | ||
| 23 | What is form anyway? I picture old \ | ||
| 24 | women counting [stitches on their knitting][knitting], \ | ||
| 25 | keeping iambs next to iambs in lines \ | ||
| 26 | as straight and sure as arrows. But my sock \ | ||
| 27 | is lumpy, poorly made: it's beginning \ | ||
| 28 | to unravel. Stresses don't line up. Syl- \ | ||
| 29 | lables forced to fit like [McNugget][] molds. \ | ||
| 30 | That cliché on the arrow? I'm aware. \ | ||
| 31 | My prepositions too---God, where's it stop? \ | ||
| 32 | The answer: never. I will never stop \ | ||
| 33 | writing poems, or hating what I write. | ||
