I really wish you would give up smoking because if you live to be in your 70's, your unfuckingbelievable hairyness will result in a magnificent white beard reminiscent of the God of the old testament.

I won't be around to see it, but it could be an inspiration to others.

p.s. i love underground rap and hip-hop a lot. i can email you an assortment of various artists if you'd like. i feel that rap/hip-hop has become unfortunately rather diluted and dumbed down in its mainstream incarnations as of late.

Thanks for the congrats! But don't be so modest; you can also see! GLORY!!!

<3ed the poem~ i miss english classes

i agree with the things you said about peotry for the sake of sound. Much like the aestheticism movent in art. Art for arts sake just isnt the same to me

[KATTANATEMA]

the whole debate on art is pointless. you cannot say that one thing is better, you can only say what you enjoy.but the fact remains that any form of expression is automatically art, and this applies to poetry also. hierarchy is totally opposite to the poetic nature of things.

sorry if that comment comes off kind of dim-witted.

also my favourite part of your poem was "defend and define"

:)

holy shit at the rhyming at beginning of words, i had a rather long winded argument with all of my friends at school who didn't agree with me about it being just as valid as end of word rhyming.

It came up about that blink 182 song all the small things with the line "say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home" he said how it was weird because it didn't rhyme the "go" and "home" and i said it did, anyway we ended up asking a teach and she said it was called female rhyming.

Shave everything off, just so we can see what it's like once :P

I think dadaist poetry comes closest to a form of poetry that is mainly or exclusively concerned with sound as opposed to semantics.
