Okay, as I thought, it's some error in the works. So I do wonder if
it's only me (on my I-Mac?) who's received your poems in that format.
And then the one that came through the way you wrote it....
It's an intriguing problem, with free or open verse, enjambment, as if
you, as I do, follow the New American Poetry version, out of WCW etc,
then the line break is a meant pause, one of the ways of creating
rhythm. Denise Levertov had a terrific essay on this.
