tissue structure

• The enjambment used in Tissue allows the poem to flow more freely, creating an impression of lack of rules and constraints.
• The enjambment contrasts with the regular quatrains to show how freedom can be found in even the most restrictive places.

  • This also shows how even the strongest and most stifling human institutions are still victims of chaos and freedom, with these effects combining to mock those in power.
• Caesura features in every stanza bar the stanza that begins with "fine slips" which speaks about human's' emphasis on money and finance.

  • This could be a criticism that humanity allows money and materialism to mindlessly engulf them, the lack of punctuation (therefore a lack of pause) emulating the continuousness of humanity's infatuation with money.
