proximoceptionA. The poems where the poet tries to speak everything.
B. The poems where she speaks just one part but perfectly.
C. The poems where she perhaps speaks imperfectly, but drops crucial hints of how to read As or Bs.
D. The poems where she speaks perfectly something not part of her usual everything.
Bs can be Cs. As through Cs can also be Ds, to an extent - maybe always are.
E.g. Directive is an A (and a D), The Figure a Poem Makes one of its crucial Cs. Birches is Frost's earlier attempt at an A, served by the Cs The Demiurge's Laugh, Into My Own and After Apple-Picking, the B-Cs The Most of It and The Wood-Pile (also served by Laugh) and itself serves as a C for Directive and Figure. Acquainted with the Night is a fantastic D, though now I think on it hardly independent of the As. Maybe it's that the connections of Ds to As stay secret? Whereas any A by Frost will include some restating of Bs like Spring Pools and The Oven Bird.
This would be more readable if I'd given them names, not letters. I'd use WW's cathedral terms if I remembered more about cathedrals. The Trial by Existence is probably a nave.
