Yoku (def.): Two parallel lines of indeterminate words, syllables or any
other measure of count. The Yoku conjoins disparate - or elements of no
obvious transparent relation - into a compositional whole in which both
lines infer or give a value to one another in a manner that cannot be
stated. The whole that may be considered similar to the sight of two
parallel lines that, by definition, cannot intersect. A Yoku is related to,
but not to be confused with a metaphysical conceit in which opposites are
violently yoked together into an artificial coherence to compel an intended
conceit, that is an enforced imposition of implied or directly stated
meaning, ironic or otherwise. A Yoku is also related to a Haiku, but
different.
