Accidental poem at work from funky e-mail line breaks
I got this in my inbox this morning:
It’s been over a decade since
I subcribed to your magazine,
but you used to publish a yearly edition of the top US industrial areas, by city.
Do you still do that, and if so, when was the last month and when will it appear again? Thank you.
I’m sure he didn’t mean it, but he has a real rhythm here . . . two 8-syllable lines, two lines of 24(ish), with the pause before the final two beats, “areas, by city.” is echoed with “again? Thank you.”
And . . .
