    Nobody spoke on the pier because the day had not yet decided what it would become.

    In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

    A stately pleasure-dome decree :

    Where Alph, the sacred river, ran



    Down to a sunless sea.

    step level 8

    P2 long lines

    This line is deliberately far longer than any reasonable content column so that it must soft-wrap at least once on desktop and several times on a phone, proving the hanging indent
    An indented long line that also wraps: the estuary kept its own ledger of arrivals and departures, salt-signed and provisional, requiring no witness but the moon

    P3 gaps

    P5 center-block

    short
    the longest line determines the block position
    mid-length line

    P6 scroll

    this concrete-poetry line must never ever wrap because wrapping would destroy the deliberate spatial arrangement the poet constructed character by character across the page and beyond it

    P9 hang0

    hanging indent disabled: this long line must wrap perfectly flush left with no continuation indent visible at any width whatsoever, truly flush

    P9b hang2.5 step4ch

    custom: big hang and ch steps wrapping line that is long enough to wrap on phones at least once for sure, yes definitely long enough

    P10 stanza indent + supports

    first stanza flush

    second stanza indented as a whole

    P12 empties

  • Lineate Torture Test

    after the flood maps were redrawn — "unreliable narrator"

    The tide came in across the estuary flats and did not stop at the line the maps had drawn for it, insisting instead
    on its own cartography,
    salt-signed,
    provisional.

    What the water wants the water writes.
    And we, who read it, wade -- carefully.

    — Test Poet

    a short poem
    centered on its longest line, which is this one right here going on a while
    and never wrapping
