I don't disagree with you. I wasn't quite clear enough in my previous post. I mean to say that some poetry works mostly or entirely as vocalized, while other poetry works mostly or entirely as read on a page. It need not work both ways.
A recontextualization of any of it can reinvent its value.
Enjoy your meal.
