"Wot Is a Line?" by Dave Morice (Thursday, September 10)

(Bauhaus artist Paul Klee’s childlike definition of a line is the first line of this poem. The words "line," "dot," and "went" change their initial letters in all 27 permutations.)

A line is a dot that went for a walk.
A line is a dot that lent for a walk.
A line is a dot that dent for a walk.

A line is a lot that went for a walk.
A line is a lot that lent for a walk.
A line is a lot that dent for a walk.

A line is a wot that went for a walk.
A line is a wot that lent for a walk.
A line is a wot that dent for a walk.

*

A dine is a dot that went for a walk.
A dine is a dot that lent for a walk.
A dine is a dot that dent for a walk.

A dine is a lot that went for a walk.
A dine is a lot that lent for a walk.
A dine is a lot that dent for a walk.

A dine is a wot that went for a walk.
A dine is a wot that lent for a walk.
A dine is a wot that dent for a walk.

*

A wine is a dot that went for a walk.
A wine is a dot that lent for a walk.
A wine is a dot that dent for a walk.

A wine is a lot that went for a walk.
A wine is a lot that lent for a walk.
A wine is a lot that dent for a walk.

A wine is a wot that went for a walk.
A wine is a wot that lent for a walk.
A wine is a wot that dent for a walk.
