As a continuation of exploring counter-point\/juxtapostion in poetry to create a kind of dialogue in the reader\u2019s mind, these are experiments to find out whether a title \u2013 or what presents itself as a title typographically \u2013 could function as a first line in a poem. Normally we read the title as a more or less comprehensive catch-phrase of what the text below it will reveal, but in this case the following phrase\/poem will be in juxtaposition to what the title proposes. The basic presumption is that \u201cthe space\u201d between the two parts creates a room for the reader to enter. I hope it works.<\/em><\/p>\n
