Poetry and Prose in a tavern
Met.
Poetry said to Prose ‘In
Background of me you are'
Replied Prose to Poetry, ' In
The background of me you are
And we be One and
All in One'

How compatible they can be when they're in a genial mood! Poetry starts off with a generous statement of common presence in the world of communication. But I think Prose goes way off kilter saying they are one (!) . In fact, I think Prose's ALL IN ONE statement muddies the water, because people will expect poetry to be immediately understood and accessible like prose and that's dangerous - for Poetry.
