"lemmingrede"
tulip craze or witchcraft
describes Cheetoh era,
ergot—outrage raining,
ev'ryone keeps smiling
myth of American freedom
or elites lacked conscience
then led final ransack
given go-ahead by
grifter who got lucky
myth of American knowhow
i think they won't bother
theorizing downfall
Chicxulub's scar chiseled,
a changed landscape crawling
the myth of America
“It seems to me that the modern public prefers its poetry sung.
That doesn’t surprise me, anymore than that they also prefer movies in color with sound, to silent ones in black and white.
I myself like silent movies on their own merits, but I have no illusions that there are going to be great artists practicing this medium ever again.
In the light of this argument (to which I can find no answer) the squabbles over verse or free verse seem rather petty.” –Ernst Kipling in Eratosphere
