Mobilized by a Flame-Retardant Apathy Invitation, the Culture Stirred....

I asked Philip Whalen through the cut-up machine, "Should I be afraid of this new year?

I can't FUCK poets. well i'm dead but that's not what i mean...



men have been exorcised a beautiful thing or a woman inside a man i don't think that means, however, poets. however, i mean poets.





the syllables of a lake that is like lovemaking and is lovemaking was my beautiful psalm under his palms his psalmistry his palmistry. lovely porker. he was like a cloud that wore shirts. he had little use for language.





..no, I mean don't create these streets that self-mythologize not even in paris. I hate his cohorts. really, all movement poetry is the way amanda lepore looks like a plastic blow-up doll when she stands still for a few seconds. it doesn't grate though.)


there is a moving whole person discount in poetry but few know about it




the thinkistocracy creates a pet poetry movement for the next gen, the biographers and they shove all the people they don't really want in with the younger ones saying this is your bus, but they trip, they always trip and go under the bus...they make a horrible noise....



...one laughs, but hates oneself for laughing. poets are really the most evil sparrows, you know...


...trust me, i know...i was several of them...i don't miss my sparrowhood....none of us here do...
