no it has be reinvented all the time - it’s unsustainable but I’m romantic toward it
I've been reading a lot of Roald Dahl books to my kids. He doesn't write poetry (well, he does, but I don't mean his silly diddies and stuff). He is a good writer, but he is writing something different than poetry. Matilda or BFG are amazing cases of clean, concise, maybe perfect prose that is not poetry.
...but I think I may see your point. I can tell you what Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is about in a few phrases. I probably need more words than are in the poem to tell you what "We like March" is about.1
Maybe un-summarizable isn't the right word. I want something that gets at this idea that we could defy the AI summary requesters, stymie them and compelled them to read the real thing if they want to get it.

Also, to my shame, I'm not much of a poetry reader. I read almost anything that comes in lines that go all the way across the page. ↩
