Replying to a comment on:

Dear M Foucault, or, How I knew our relationship was doomed (Sestina) by zodiac

Do you hold words so dear that you hold words – so? Dear, that do. Hold words so dear that you do words that do hold you so, dear – so dear. That you hold – Do words, dear, that do you. Hold words so that. Do you? (hold words?) So, dear.

I would just like to say that it hadn't occured to me until this moment that a sestina has only 6 lines per stanza, not 7, and so the whole idea is shot. But then, for me, the question "What were you on when you wrote this?" wouldn't be strictly rhetorical.
