They won the propaganda war.

"Americans are intent on going back to the moon like a couple with problems thinks having a baby will fix things" —@neutral.zone

"By putting improvised poetry onscreen and allowing us to see an awkward kid reluctantly spit out a line, Hawke gave it a reality that my cohort didn’t get from, say, reading the Beats."

"L’invetriata

The stained glass window
The smoky summer evening
From the high glass window it sheds light into the shadows
And it leaves a burning seal in my heart,
But who has (a lamp lights up on the terrace over the river) who has
At the Madonnina del Ponte who lit the lamp?

- there is
There's a rotting smell in the room: it's there
In the room a languishing red sore.

The stars are mother-of-pearl buttons and in the evening she dresses in velvet:
And the fatuous evening trembles: the evening is fatuous and it flickers but it is there
In the middle of the evening there is,
Always a languishing red sore."

—Dino Campana (tr Charles Wright?) via--possibly garbled--
