Luke, I think you are analysing it all too much. Most poets now — both in the mainstream and the avantgarde dispensed with metre and other forms of prosody years ago. At least the one that I am aware of. Most now just “go with the flow”.

I'll try to rephrase my question.
Can one claim (think?) that Pound's "metronome" occurs when the rhythm cannot disrupt other "systems"(e.g. meaning) in the poem, due to the poem lacking sufficient consistency in the 1st place.
It may be nonsense.
