There are three levels of poetic depiction of human personality and events.

Lyric is one persona contemplating who they are and where they are in the universe in a crystallization of a moment that lifts them out of time.

Drama is two or more personae expressing lyrical contemplations to each other in a conversation that results in action or inaction in the flow of time.

Narrative is an omniscient faceless persona narrating the settings of at least three scenes of events where one or more personae whom they describe perform actions and speak a lyric alone or in conversations in a temporal process of social change.

A contemplative lyric can frame a narrative action as the persona analyzes the idea of a temporal event.

A narrative depiction of events can frame a lyrical contemplation of a persona analyzing their situation which leads them to perform an action in the temporal process of cultural change.
