It was dark when we left the vet school today. Wet and cold. Sniffle.

is this experimental poetry?

Yes. I am writing upside down pyramid poems. Like an inverse pyramid of biomass (or perhaps a pyramid of numbers with an oak tree in the base). The number of words per line gets progressively fewer as the poem goes on. It's hard to write anything longer than 20 lines though...

Yes. Sometimes poets forget the importance of biological theories. When was the last time you heard the counter-current mechanism of urine concentration at Po Soc?
