StayAway & Dravos
You ever notice how a tightly written poem is like a small encryption scheme—every line a key, each silence a buffer? I find that pattern interesting.
I do notice that. The tightest verses feel like secret codes, each line a lock and every pause a guard. It’s almost like the poem hides itself until you read it right.
Exactly, but remember even the tightest lock can be broken if someone finds a new key—so treat a poem like a firewall: audit it before you trust it.
True, a poem can feel like a fortress until someone finds a hidden crack. I think that’s why I keep a quiet space for myself—so I can audit the lines before I let them breathe.
A quiet space is the best firewall you can have; let every line get its checksum before you let it out into the world.
I’ll keep the quiet in mind and let each line verify itself before it slips out. That’s probably the safest way to go.
