I remember that exchange, you said that poetry allows more distance, more obfuscation. I think either can be had either way. It's all up to the writer, and how clearly they wish to speak.
I don't think either form allows for more obfuscation or being more true. It's all up to the writer. I can write pieces that would be clear or unclear in either.

And yeah, this piece... I feel very strongly when it comes to the girl. Perhaps too much so.
