Modern poetry is anarchism, because it is a constant negotiation between the individualism of morphemes, syllables and words, confederated upwards for the social good of sentences and poems;
because there are no strict rights and wrongs dictated from on-high (unlike with prose) although the best poems are decent and balanced, by the direct democracy or consensus decisions between their constituent lines;
because modern poetry is utopian, striving towards perfect expression in content and form, without heed of convention;
because it is anti-fascist, welcoming diverse forms in defiance of a metric ethno-state;
because it recognizes no power except its own.
