Meaning

This is one of Caroline's poems. It is about meaning disappearing. It was her goal to skew the meaning of the poem as much as possible in order to create the effect of meaning disappearing in the structure of the poem itself. She enlisted me to do some grammatical / line editing. We collectively worked on the line breaks and punctuation (while she most likely should have been helping someone sign out books at the Trent Library):

Meaning; why
have
you left this waste
land devoid
of sense and
nonsense
where one
cannot
be found without
the
other?

PS: Caroline, this is my favourite poem of yours. Keep it up.
