+title: 'On formal poetry'
+project: 'Elegies for Alternate Selves'
+...
+
+I think that I could write formal poems \
+exclusively, or at least inclusive \
+with all the other stuff I write \
+I guess.  Of course, I've already written \
+a few, this one included, though "formal" \
+is maybe a stretch.  Is blank verse a form?  \
+What is form anyway?  I picture old \
+women counting [stitches on their knitting][knitting], \
+keeping iambs next to iambs in lines \
+as straight and sure as arrows.  But my sock \
+is lumpy, poorly made: it's beginning \
+to unravel.  Stresses don't line up.  Syl- \
+lables forced to fit like [McNugget][] molds.  \
+That cliché on the arrow?  I'm aware.  \
+My prepositions too---God, where's it stop?  \
+The answer: never.  I will never stop \
+writing poems, or hating what I write.
