mouse ears like breasts
aroused
Mouseketeers
hi-ho
perspective--prison corridor
10,000 ways to right 'em, 10,000 ways to read 'em
10,000 potential customers, and this one ain't buyin that one, there is a huge play in most two letter combinations, three potentially more, and so on and so forth
as an image, concept, good
as a poem, how inviting is it? does it entice? does it generate further interaction?
no quarter

The Stanley Fish experiment is this:
Students are told a list is a poem (inference)
a list is
Noun (or noun phrase)
Noun
Noun
Noun
Noun
reader thinks it is a poem, thereforth...
Senna's poem is
Noun--Noun phrase noun (+inference)
So how is this different?
Because the two are carefully chosen, I give him that
writer creatses, reader thinks it is a poem, thereforth...
but the same can be appied to everything in New Poems also, now, Senna I am sure put a little more thought into his than most of the people in new poems put in theirs (conjecture on my part) but lets take his poem and re-order it as a noun lists
perspective
prison
corridor
prison
corridor
perspecive
corridor
perspective
prison
etc., there should be a slight meaning shifts as some of these can be collapsed into one Noun phrase (prison corridor perspective) and some can't be understood with out the implied insertion of other words.
Here he asks you to the insertion by the "--", what he is doing, whether he knows it or not is asking you to think like a chinese reader, his poem is now
Character Character,
and the meaning "poetry" is how the two fit together.
The limitations of this should be obvious, but the most likely one, is that is does not sustain great interest.

as a single word, it's too open-ended; with its title, though, it's a sucker-punch. is it a poem? works for me - says . . . no, allows the reader to infer everything and so makes use of that e-space: what the readers bring to the piece completes the poem in their own minds. they only bring what they do, though, because of those four words. you steer. we fill. voila. it lives, todski.
