if i were conscious of all the poetic techniques, metaphor, imagery, pun etc. i wouldn't write as much as do - i'd be dealing with some sort of arithmetic, a labyrinth of obstructions to identify with rather than bypass - i'd be doing what philosophers do, staging a fright with a conscious use of words like: metaphysical, etymological, ontological - the list goes on, but such vocab secures crutches holding the whole thing afloat, in poetical realities: the equivalent of pursuing identities that might summon a critical conjurer of positive feedback who, with nodding approvals testifies: mm indeed a poem, mm indeed a perfected use of a hammer (metaphor) on that plank of wood (pun), per se, imagine replacing technique very much akin to swimming styles with an inanimate tinge, a stasis - the techniques surrounding the approach to each of these Pandora boxes is unlimited, each approach a crescendo, a total failure of Roman bureaucracy exploited - rather than that mundane drilling of schooled knowledge of English teachers ably identifying techniques to such an extent that all that remains is a noun and nothing behind it; poetry - the act of spontaneity - synonymous thoroughly with impromptu - sheering of innocence - the act of formidable maddening - hysteria par excellence - spoken like a true addicts, never mind the alcohol, even though i drink i'm still quiet sober when i infatuate myself with verse, then the real drinking begins - piquant - i wrote it because i just love the -quant sound of things, meaningless indeed, but meaningful that i could have uttered the sound, and by doing so the resonance would have a little condo in the universe, a little place for itself... it still ****** me off what they did to Brain Wilson - marmalade pop, sure, but it was the sixties!
