The urge to write poetry never left me; I resist its draw and
  write prose instead... (well, it resembles prose but it's really
  poetry.* I never could stand having to write structured text...
  (unless it was poetic); if I had to write in the format they use
  for Scientific Journals I think I'd.. oh, probably just do it
  because I'd be a Scientist then and have to... but anyway.
  Finding the right question; so true; so much hinges on that.*
  The way that words can combine from nearly mathematically
  precise all the way up to poetic forms tells me something
  interesting: There's* a question that nobody has asked whose
  answer might tell us everything we need. I've heard it said that
  the answers are buried within the questions that are asked, like
  unfolding a question mark and turning it into an exclamation
  mark.* (ok, I made that up, but it sounds more authoritative if
  I say "I've heard it said that" :P ) For me, I've been studying
  the awkward things; staying within the sticky, yucky bits of
  knowledge that's not quite clear and often quite confusing,
  trying to see what they have in common.
