just keep nagging about poetry stealing if not simply invigorating people's index curriculum vocabulorum (day-to-day pint of milk what's the weather like speech) - keep nagging - it won't make a difference - i have a grievance all of my own - one word - slang - or the effective tool for unprecedented use of misnomers - slang is, after all, a practice of using misnomers with social acceptability - some claim that poetry is incomprehensible - too difficult - too cult-like - too whatever it is that people think poetry is - i'm in it for the long-haul - i'm looking at the fame of Homer and of Horace and i see no fame in the modern definition - the certainty of Nietzsche: perhaps my true readers haven't been born yet. i'm that certain of what i write, capitalism and the short-term effect - the cure and the same song as stated on the album *********** - just keep nagging about what poetry is and what it isn't - i just spotted an pink elephant of the easiest of comparisons to nag about too... urban slang - slang in general - but instead of a single people being incomprehensible (like the tweeting format? no? we have an antidote for that) - i never bothered or knew how to learn slang, the "cool talk" of being recognised as a part of a pack of hyenas about to "change the world"; if you explain slang to me i'll explain poetry to you, some does mature outside the realm of adolescence - Rimbaud certainly did - and with him as example i guess we should only write in our teen years then forget about it, never age with it - never do a Sistine Chapel pinnacle with it - poetry is the secondary fashion statement of the young, the primary fashion statement is slang - i don't know why i kept it up as i did - and i don't care much for being too technical either, Tartar stake for me - i guess the trick of the novelist is that he knows he can take breaks in between writing a novel, he can always come back to it knowing the reader will probably take days and different yoga positions finishing his outpouring: as already suggested, poetry as something that constantly requires a revision of meaning (esp. in the age of twitter) - fair enough for the haiku crew - but consider my deliberate care for a counter haiku: the ensō (zen)- maximised with the Tao teaching of forgetting the world and letting the world forget about you - lethal combination................................ so this slang debate... can you tell me why it's so akin to the incomprehensibility of poetry and why it fizzles out after adolescence of the teen years?

slang and misnomers
