something i posted somewhere else -- on meaning

[Leanne]

Then there is the real mystery of Leanne's layer, above. Why did she copyright para 3?

Because I'm deeply mysterious... and can't work out how to turn off the auto-correct :p

You're right in that there's no real need to "add" layers to anything, which could be seen as just over-complicating in order to seem rather more clever than is true, because those layers already exist in the language itself. It is incumbent upon all poets, in my opinion, to use the language to its full potential -- the old "still waters run deep" adage is very true in poetry. Overly busy, overly modified and complicated language will often leave the reader taking too much time to decipher, not enough time to appreciate.
