> 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.
