    Poetry is both the sound and the silence. Without the silence and the breaks, there can’t be any poetry.

      Sure, but this is not poetry spaces, it’s just badly cut up text IMO.

      You think it is done intentionally? Like some post modernist style?

        Some phrases remained intact, while some were abruptly cut off.

            So the sentence structure reflects the lives of the poem’s subjects, some endure but others are cut short. Is it that obvious?
