    Very nicely done. However, I'm afraid it doesn't convey the pain you intended it to - as a poem, it's too kind of toothsomely satisfying and even fun for that.

    I really loved this work for its unique style. I felt broken reading it, awesome job.

    A technical tip if you want to muck about with form in the future: you can preserve unusual spacing by putting code tags around your text: [code] [/ code] like that, but without the space after the slash obviously.

    comme ça:

    Code:
    and soo 
           unknown
    
    ss  to ordinary men           but known 
     to them who     do not think
         they know
    Hope you won't think I'm hijacking, but it seems relevant to share this old poem of mine, written before I knew the code tags trick, which sort of seems in a similar spirit, formally and also, sort of, in terms of its subject matter. http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=14335
