Posted "A Distant Episode", whose title I stole from one of my favorite short stories of Paul Bowles's.
it's basically nothing but wordplay and imagery; it means nothing to me personally. it's basically a pastiche of crap from my old notebooks. I stole nothing from Bowles except the title and the vague desert image of "mirage". There's a nod to Nietzsche in there; as well as the biblical Joshua, who is in the background, ubiquitously, in my little endeavours at writing. Also banal nods to Hardy and Cervantes. I only say that to explain that I'm aware of them, not that they are true literary allusions or anything.
Tekendis -- thank you. "unzipped" is a nice way of putting it; that's exactly right. and yes, I am a realist, above all, in my perception as communicated in these meagre poems. FF was just teasing me; it's cool.
Rhon -- thanks as well. I've consolidated ALL my poems here.
For one, it keeps ME from losing my poetry; some are older than the general search feature allows for. doing it like this keeps everything in one place. also, i thought maybe it'd help david in a small way, in that it would reduce threads.
