formdegrammarThis form consciously wrecks normal English grammar, not a new idea. In some poems, I’ve borrowed from other languages, including computer languages.

Tunes repeat, invert, stagger, slow, quicken, transform; concurrent contrapunctual counterpoint. A poem fugue is merely spoken repeated until the person reciting runs out of stupidity.
