Dear Vivek and Anand,

 

We are in agreement here, Vivek. It�s not about choice. It�s about a confluence. Since Anand�s metric illiteracy has been exposed, let mine be laid bare too. The �felt� reaction came because all this very detailed talk of form was beginning to feel overwhelming. You are not formal fascists. But I am not capable, as of May 14, 2005, 7.06pm, to dissect poems so very closely. Yet, the project to learn that very skill has begun.  

 

***

 

Ejaculate or womancome drip,

collect shapelessly.

 

Water in a jug is contained,

still, until it�s poured out.

And when spilled, it flows

instinctively to the drain.

 

Form is the jug�s rigidity.

Ejaculate is splattered feeling.

Poetry is in the spilling.

 

Subuhi
