Compare and contrast:

The poet's choice of form has pros and cons. On the one hand, because none of the sentences in the poem are completed, the paragraph-like structure of the poem could make it easy for the reader to get lost or bored. However, this may still have been a valid artistic choice. After all, the poem is about the "elliptical" of excuses for racism, so maybe it makes sense to have the reader get tired, and associate that weariness with those excuses. In contrast, making the poem have lines and stanzas, rather than a paragraph structure, makes the reader more likely to try to interpret the individual significance of each line, rather than look at what the lines all mean together.
