Style Guide

What I mean is
will you read all of it, or
only the first ten pages?

Will you come at it
with a slide rule or a ruler,
or a more abstract measure

of error? Sometimes 
it takes longer to work 
on common mistakes.

The more difficult
to detect are the product
of some kind of subtle

engineering. Harder
to undo, until they are no
longer abstract, or

a fine line has been
crossed, broken, restructured,
embargoed, or banned.
