Returning to poetry, seeing the environment differently is a challenge addressed by French Oulipian writer Jacques Jouet (2001), who seeks to develop ‘creative constraints’—arbitrary rules that by restricting specific options inspire creativity in other areas (Maréchal & Linstead, 2010; Motte, 2020). Jouet’s invention—‘metropoems’—were in the moment, composed in the head between stations and written down only whilst the train was standing in the next station, the journey being predetermined. He actually sets down the rules of the metropoems in a metropoem.

A metro poem is a poem composed during a journey in the metro.

There are as many lines in a metro poem as there are stations in your journey, minus one.

The first line is composed mentally between the first two stations of your journey (counting the station you got on at).

It is then written down when the train stops at the second station.

The second line is composed mentally between the second and the third stations of your journey.

It is then written down when the train stops at the third station. And so on.

You must not write anything down when the train is moving.

You must not compose when the train has stopped.

The poem’s last line is written down on the platform of the last station.

If your journey necessitates one or more changes of line, the poem will then have two or more stanzas.

An unscheduled stop between two stations is always an awkward moment in the writing of a metropoem.
