Sign Inventory, Week 11

"The Striking Blondes" by Kate Northrop

-three stanzas
-first stanza made up of sentence spanning three lines, each which end at the margin with no apparent "line break", much like prose
-2nd stanza formed much like first, but is a question containing a colon and a semicolon in the middle of the second and third lines, respectively
-third stanza: seven lines, 2 questions, 2 sentences, also prose-like
-second to last line ends with a period at the margin (no enjambent)
-last line: one full sentence
-first stanzas begin with "they" and later refer to "us"
-last stanza begins with "we" and seems a primarily "us"-centered stanza, with references to "them"
