    Even in poetry you have to remain within the confines of what defines "poetry".
    If I just pour some ink on the page, make a big ol' ink blob... that isn't poetry.
    If I crumple up some paper in a big ball, that isn't poetry.
    If I cut off my ear and stick it in a plastic box, it isn't poetry.
    If I run naked through my back yard, it isn't poetry.
