+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, \
+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.
