Objects – G. Stein

Objects is not about linguistics, yet it’s about the phonetics and sensations, the feelings of the words and not the derived meanings. The words are also structured in a spatial sense relating to their object. The box for instance has an angular rigid structure addressing each side of a box equally with evenly spaced sentences. The words chosen in this stanza are less “fluffy” in their texture unlike the word pool in the paragraph of the substance of a cushion. This poem is best read in it’s original format, as it’s also a matter of spacing and also read allowed to get a sense of texture in the language.
