Poetection

when form is the content, the tendency is obscurity

She was afraid of being wrong, but right answers eluded her, so she turned to obscurity. Green ideas sleeping furiously, Swiss cheese typography, and playing tennis without a net. Appearing to be anguished language, the parts make sense by structure, but never spoke with each other.

In this, her strategy was simply to lift the ramp of accessibility. Cryptic writ needs no answer. They can’t see whether she’s dressed or innocent as birth, so best to be mysterious and protected as genius.
