A quote from Robert Peake on putting constrasting lines side by side, briefly, densely, intensely:
“the ancient Chinese poet Li Ho did as well – collecting individual lines to stitch together. This technique seems to naturally focus itself around compelling imagery (though the music can often be just as important). Alcosser also pointed out that if post-modernism is a kind of “random-access literature,” this technique of stitching together diaphoric juxtapositions represents “random-access observations for a random-access world.”

collecting lines
I usually have a page where I put the clever catch-phrases and
lines that occur alone. The ability to use them seems to some and
go, but when the time is right, they can make some great poetry
where people love a particular phrase. One golden moment carries
a lot of freight.
