Let's remove all overtly political effects. This can require drawing some interesting lines. For example, the act of "angering the Serbs" is a political one; but it is not necessarily political "when Serbs get mad". That's just a bit of cultural stereotyping. Let's, in any case, see what happens:

angering the Serbs; when Serbs get mad, they talk about "human rights" and "European integrations." When Albanians get mad,

When Codi asks if anyone has publicized the problem, Viola reminds her that a small town like Grace. Wandering around the cemetery

the UN anymore, particularly since they elected Libyans to chair the Human Rights division. Stop laughing; I'm serious.

Its all I can afford on my nursing home wages, and smells there, even though I have to share a bathroom.

Sarah Palin… She is awesome…a regular person….which i ..... envy Sarah Palin - I pity her. The most humiliating experience a working

They should go there and do the fine job of building a nation like they think ... I suggest that you keepp your dumb comments to yourself.

we've gotten used to it human dignity has been unsullied, and around 40,000 Americans conceived in petri dishes, walk among us

OK. Next, let's remove all overtly poetic material:

when Serbs get mad, they talk about When Albanians get mad,

When Codi asks if anyone has publicized the problem, Viola reminds her that a small town like Grace. Wandering around the cemetery

Stop laughing; I'm serious.

Its all I can afford on my nursing home wages, and smells there, even though I have to share a bathroom.

She is awesome…a regular person….which i ..... envy - I pity her. The most humiliating experience a working

like they think ... I suggest that you keepp your dumb comments to yourself.

we've gotten used to it human dignity has been unsullied, and around 40,000 Americans conceived in petri dishes, walk among us

What are we left with?

when Serbs get mad, they talk about When Albanians get mad,

When Codi asks if anyone has publicized the problem, Viola reminds her that a small town like Grace.

Stop laughing; I'm serious.

It is from these strophes that we will want to shape a poem. Now, having lost the reference to nation building, and used material originally situated in a comment on Sarah Palin, we are obviously not going to arrive at the same lines that Degentesh did. But we are learning something about how to recognize "the scraps of poems" that Jerome Rothenberg suspects are "left behind in the mud" after the khurbn.
