I think you could say that a person trained in modern poetry (a contemporary lit instructor) could easily assimilate that poem into their schema for poetry and recognize it as a poem (no accommodation is necessary).

"That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood....Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights."

So, can you give an example of how assimilation would occur in this context?
