The Combine

The sink rhyme seems forced, but I had recently written three poems with a sink that meant the same thing. In the Sick Sink. I Is Nobody. Fool's Other. 

Sometimes, I make poems and then arrange them in different ways to see how they read in sequence. I used to do that with songs using cassette tapes.

Sometimes I found typos in poems, and corrected them in some places and not in others: and then made allusions to my own poems, sometimes based on the typos and sometimes on the corrections.

I call my most forced-sounding rhymes Demonic Rhymes, as they seem to have a life of their own. Nursey Rhymes and Demons tend to talk in rhymes. They have similar effects.

In I Is Nobody, some versions say sick tank, some say sink tank. And things like that happen in other poems.
Anne Sexton made a point to use typos as inspiration. She's dead.
