DEAD POEMS: A literary dissection

	dead poems argh unsuckciss-full at

	but
	sumtaimes
	even these can be revived –
	through inspiration and konsideration
	syntax changes
	meanings rearrange
	new tendrils e
	merge frum old roots
	as former konnections wit
	her while new ones
	thrive 'n hoot


Juanita: (shrugging her head) Hmm. This poem seems a bit dead to me.

Jack:    Well, if you forget about meaning & just focus on the sound, it's okay . . .

Shu:     (nodding) Yeah. Maybe we are too rigid about meaning. Jack Daniels 
         and Jim Beam helped me realize that!

Ella:    (shrugging her shoulders) How can we ever understand what authors say? At best, 
         it seems that we only get brief glimpses. Most of the time, the world is opaque.
