when i was a teenager
\nreading poetry at school
\ni remember getting
\njust
\ncompletely
\ninfuriated
\nby the random line breaks
\neverywhere
\nthinking
\nscreaming
\n(whining)
\ncouldn’t you have written this as a sentence
\na single paragraph
\ncorrectly punctuated
\nits meaning made clearer
\nand more concise
\nunobfuscated
\nby these arbitrary separations
\nNow of course this is all I have
\nall I do
\neverything I am
\ndrawn out
\nand spread thin
\nin the hope
\nthat the spaces
\nbetween
\nwill hold more meaning
\nthan the words themselves<\/p>\n
