Hehe.
I love that there is a Scarriet to answer Harriet.
And I noticed they also have a Foetry Poundation.
They added this adorable Mickey Ashbery graphic to my poem.
Ashbery is actually cute like that.
Thanks guys. Or gals.
This was months ago.
See, I told you I'm terrible at Googling myself.
I don't check myself regularly or even have a logical method.
Logic is a distant cousin I have fallen out of communication with.
I deleted those stupid auto searches that email you.
Scarriet, thanks for the graphic. Love it.

sorry to say, but i think you'll find that scarriet is run by a bunch of chuckleheads.
All the thanks go to you. It's not easy to spoof Ashbery, because he's a towering mountain of spoof, but you pulled it off. I was blown away.
Very impressive, and thanks for letting Scarriet steal it.

Hi Thomas Brady.
Thanks again.
Hi Matt.
I didn't post Matt's comment to be all snasty after you said something complimentary, Thomas, but Matt's a good egg...he's more than a good egg...and he tolerates my insane Ashbery kvetching, whining and shrilling without pulling the standard "I deleted you to demonstrate my aesthetic allegiance" move yet.
So good people. Plus smart writer. Smart reader.
So I have to let him call Scarriet chuckleheads here.
And I make no such judgment.
All I read there so far is you liking me, and I'm pretty down with that.
I kvetch and whine about Ashbery but I recognize his pivotal importance in the whole French/American thing and am very grateful for all that he's done.
He's a cultural monolith.
And I think that's why it's fun to have fun with him.
Who can resist the urge to spraypaint a monolith when nobody's looking.
Oh, I wouldn't do that to Stonehenge.
Some other monoliths.
Stein said everybody just says the same thing over and over again in different ways if you listen closely (she said it much better than I do here) and I think that was the whole point of The Making of Americans (that people are really recycled and recyclable things and history, histories, etc.).
That finite funniness of it all.
Shakespeare said that too.
About the finite situations.
So maybe Ashbery is just like everybody else.
But some poets spoil you.
Because they change so much between books.
How do they do that?
Those poets amaze me.
I have to go watch more murder t.v. now.
I'm dying to find out what happened to that one guy on ID's Disappeared.
I've fallen asleep twice and this is probably my last chance to see if the MILF killed him or he got amnesia.

Why do people say "ripped from the headlines?"
Do you ever rip anything from the headlines?
I know I don't.
Weird.
Have a good day.
Both of you.
