"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"
--Kenneth Koch
“El subtítulo ‘Modelo para armar’ podría llevar a creer que las
diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables.”

If unhappy families are all unhappy in their own way, then shouldn't bad poetry be more interesting?
Or do we follow Pound who stated that mediocre poetry of whatever time and place resembled other mediocre poetry?
The form of mediocrity changes, but the underlying reasons for mediocrity stay the same. Mediocrity is stasis, whereas interest arises from dialectic.

Bad poetry would be more interesting if all bad poets (or poems) were bad in their own way, even.
