"140 SHORTIES III" might seem to be positing, over and over, the possibility of magnificence in a relatively trivial and silly private format. That format not only includes relative brevities. It also includes clumps of titles that rhyme with each other and includes a rather special back-&-forth way of moving from one versification to the next.

The entire group of 140 pieces ultimately must be more of a verbal success than that same group ever could be any fount of real news or of anything like real 'info'. The following couple of examples might seem about averagely illustrative:

"LIFT
Lift us above
hate and love.
We remain quiet
regarding life's diet
of infinite passions
in endless fashions.
Tending to sense
no recompense
worth much while,
I hereby style
toward neutral smile.

DRIFT
Drift upon drift
of new-fallen snow
has given us dreams.
A brave recalling
would be of scenes
seemingly lost.
Those scenes
would shine beacons.
Every shining
might seem
almost informative.
