I quite agree with Jane Bhandari when she argues in favour of content 
in the content-versus-form debate. Personally, for me, the lava of 
content finds its own form and shape depending on where it falls and 
solidifies. I am sure a lot of our mystic poets weren't thinking 
dohas-couplets when they burst into their verbal ecstacies.
Here's something that wrote itself through me today. 
I am still figuring out the strands that make up this one. Help me if 
you can.

HOUSE PROUD

Houses
are built
by ants,
lived in by
god-fearing
sociopaths.

Houses
have windows
and doors
that make eyes
and faces
at homeless folk.

Graves
are lived in
by ants
and dug
by godless
sociopaths.

Graves
are blind
so that
the homeless
can't envy
them.

Graves,
houses,
ants,
sociopaths,
and god
can teach
us a thing
or two.
