I keep saying poetry, but in my mind, there's a slippery slope between just poetry and really careful prose, where you're really thinking through things very carefully.

It's a good example, a worked example of...
podcast-host
thinking through what other people's lives are like.
podcast-host
It's just so different.
podcast-host
Sorry, is the difference, I mean, the poem is as distilled as it can get, right?
podcast-host
Like every word carries weight, etc.
podcast-host
And prose is a little floppier, right?
podcast-host
We have a little bit more excess baggage floating around.
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
No

hope never,

I remember once when I was relatively young, probably an undergraduate, reading a definition of poetry.
podcast-host
I forget what it was, but it focused on the idea of imagery and metaphor.
podcast-host
And it didn't mention anything about lines or rhythm or anything like that.
podcast-host
And I was just shocked.
podcast-host
Like, aren't poems about lines and beats and measures?
podcast-host
But...
podcast-host
Because you could use symmetry in prose, right?
podcast-host
What is your definition of poetry, I guess, is what I'm getting at.
podcast-host
Yeah,
