  1. I'm particularly partial to affirming the half curled frond. I wonder if tomorrow's community of meaning will be a walled community.

    Something that's interesting about some of your poems here: you present them in a 'layout' -- i.e. not in a default typescript font and layout. That gives a very different effect and asks for a different kind of reception.

  2. Thanks, becca!

    And Gary, I post some as images simply because I can't make Blogger do certain things, like justify text blocks properly. I do kinda like that when you click on the image, the poem looms huge...

  3. I don't get how putting Rich and Goebbels into the same poem does not qualify as automatically meaningful and make us all the target audience, but that's just me I suppose, like his hopyness and nobel peace it makes sense to some.

  4. I am not convinced that the words "Let's Roll" constitute imagery. I am pretty sure that I have been targeted by your audience. I have particular difficulty, at times, understanding today's bureaucracies, but I trust that tomorrow's communities of meaning will not fail to omit us all. I don't 'get', for example, a tie or a belt buckle for X mas -- the "Church" of your classmates is meaningful, for someone, but I can't find much to hold it together besides its instruction manual discipline of the self.
