Forgetfulness

There is alot of disorder in Forgetfulness. The most prominant form of disorder was in the forgeting, "you will join those who have even forgotten how to swin or ride a bicycle. no wonder you rise in the middle of the night to look up the date of a famous battle in a book on war." The order to oppose this would be learning, rather than forgetting. there is also dissorder in the getting up in the middle of the night when you are suposed to be sleeping. the other dissorder was the structure the stanzas whre in to particular size, and there would be new stanzas in the middle of a sentence. For example this sentence "and even now as you mamorize the order of the planets," new stanza "something else is slipping away,". It would have been more orderly to have that entire sentence be part of one stanza rather than having that space in between. Therefore, Forgetfulness is a very disorderly poem.
