Some of us pound out a poem using rhythm and structure, breaking up lines and rhymes so to fit in the palm of the hand. The ticky tackiness of a poem can stick to the ribs and under your nails, be clear to rub out the wordiness so what is left is a bite-size portion. Go swallow the adverbs and don't choke on the nouns, pray spit out the punctuations, so you need not floss after reading.
