Something else. Something else. Something else.
If you're a poet, you do something beautiful. I mean, you're supposed to leave something beautiful after you get off the page and everything.

It may just be some kind of terribly fascinating, syntaxy droppings--excuse the expression. Like Manlius and Esposito and all those poor men.
