here is a free verse poem with lines of unknown length and deliberate lack of uppercase or punctuation It's plain text. "Plain text" does not impose any restrictions on formatting. Was the poem two lines or three? Hard wrapping plain text loses information because it inserts non-semantic line breaks using the same character as already used for semantic line breaks. There is no way reliable way to distinguish the two, so the transformation is not reversible in the general case. The best you can do is guess from context, which, as the poem demonstrates, is not always possible.
