(This poet defaces his couplets with parentheses)
[a word from the Greek coming from para (beside)
+ en (in) + tithenai (to put) whence to put in be-
side] this is a practice très mal vu (deplored)
by egoistical critics who point out that his
lines would be grammatically more correct with
commas or colons the poet responds quite true
but would they still be mine for him the paren-
theses ate small fortresses in which he can take
refuge from logic and conventional behavior his
psychiatrist has a more sinister reading on the
(s) [are their shapes not bivulvar] but he holds
his peace since they content his bizarre patient.
