-multiple
-notation

-music
-is
-the
-most
-notable
-example
-that
-comes
-to
-mind
-as
-it
-has
-the
-most
-rigid
-style
-but
-grammar
-as
-used
-self-consciously
-in
-writing
-would
-be
-another
-example
-poetry
-has
-only
-a
-very
-loose
-set
-of
-rules
-and
-assumptions
-that
-allow
-it
-a
-sort
-of
-notational
-language
-and
-this
-is
-complicated
-by
-the
-fact
-that
-when
-writing
-poetry
-the
-author
-writes
-for
-a
-different
-medium
-poetry
-is
-meant
-to
-be
-performed
-aloud
-this
-makes
-the
-notation
-system
-even
-more
-important
-but
-again
-it
-is
-hard
-to
-come
-up
-with
-a
-system
-that
-will
-be
-read
-mostly
-the
-same
-by
-most
-people
-what
-i've
-been
-trying
-to
-do
-since
-i
-began
-writing
-is
-develop
-a
-personal
-notation
-system
-or
-what
-i
-think
-most
-would
-refer
-to
-as
-my
-voice
-as
-a
-poet/writer
-i
-personally
-do
-not
-like
-the
-word
-poet
-as
-it
-sounds
-pretentious
-to
-me
-i'm
-aware
-i
-should
-get
-over
-this
-however
-there
-were
-some
-places
-that
-still
-needed
-improving
-from
-my
-draft
-manuscript
-most
-notably
-my
-prose
-in
-rip
-tide
-of
-memory
-now
-only
-rip
-tide
-and
-amber
-alert
-i
-rewrote
-each
-to
-tighten
-their
-syntactic
-and
-idea
-rhythm
-to
-make
-them
-move
-more
-lightly
-and
-gracefully
-the
-most
-notable
-difference
-in
-my
-series
-is
-the
-reordering
-of
-poems
-within
-it
-i
-think
-that
-in
-my
-first
-draft
-i
-spent
-so
-much
-time
-on
-getting
-my
-individual
-poems
-tight
-and
-polished
-that
-i
-threw
-them
-together
-somewhat
-haphazardly
-using
-a
-loose
-thematic
-correspondence
-with
-the
-fake
-table
-of
-contents
-with
-the
-new
-order
-i
-hope
-this
-has
-been
-fixed
-the
-piece
-consists
-of
-six
-sections
-each
-with
-three
-poems
-a
-new
-one
-everything
-stays
-the
-same
-makes
-the
-totals
-correct
-each
-section
-has
-a
-thematic/emotional/personal
-element
-that
-ties
-the
-sections
-together
-they
-are
-ordered
-by
-the
-order
-in
-which
-i
-wrote
-the
-sestinas
-at
-the
-beginning
-of
-each
-section
-which
-works
-out
-to
-make
-the
-series
-move
-from
-identity
-to
-memory
-to
-a
-feeling
-of
-universal
-justice
-and
-from
-there
-to
-a
-discussion
-of
-death
-and
-something
-like
-love
-that
-culminates
-in
-an
-exploration
-of
-the
-nature
-of
-time
-and
-cosmology
-the
-piece
-is
-bookended
-by
-the
-fake
-table

-contents
-provided
-at
-the
-end
-as
-an
-ironic
-commentary
-on
-the
-rest
-of
-the
-text
-and
-an
-about

-author
-section
-i
-think
-it
-works
-better
-this
-way
-and
-i
-think
-the
-about
-the
-author
-at

-serves
-as
-a
