Diagram of a Poem

Okay, so technically this is just a diagram of how to code a poem in XML. Still, it's pretty neat. Here's a poem that does not fit into this nice structure.

It's an assembly of graffiti around Vancouver, and it's melodramatic and gritty in an awesome grimdark way sort of like the movie "Strange Days" or mid-90s comics. The music helps, as does the shots of passers-by not seeing what our attention is focused upon. Simply putting the text on the page isn't going to have that same punch. 

I don't know if this is something I'd assign for someone to read in school. But I like seeing poems break out of the box.
