it's lunchtime in america and throughout every state the poet's great decision is whether food can wait? such eager frantic budding bards with hunger in their eyes but for not layered burgers they're after kewl "replies" so here when tea is nearly due and dusk creeps down my road I watch CA's languidity just suddenly explode it seems that words take precedence which means that US poets who dabble in the Passionate are slim before they know it |

HUH! first "cute" now "adorable" !! hey c'mon you guys this is CA - i'm lookin' for serious heavyweight criticism of the poem, not truths about my undoubted cuddliness ... what about some analysis of the complexities of the meter and originality of the rhyming (specially the last stanza), not to mention the subtle satirical commentary on post modernistic nutritional and behavioural patterns in a neo-technological society.... P but thanks |

Good Morning, er Good Evening Philip, Well I really loved this, loved the humour oh and you are just tooooo C l e v e r  hehe and C u t e ! ooops There is a particular word I noticed you used in the eigth line. I'm surprised to see you use it hehehe, though it is "kewl" with me  On the 15th line you have...... "who dabble in the passionate".... should that be...... "who dabble with the passionate" ?? I just felt that dabble in the passionate" didn't read well, but then it could be me awaiting your reply oh Clever One |

If one permits me a moment of hubris here and allows me to interrogate the hermenuetics behind what is, in essence, a hermenuetical excursion into the relationship between post-modern aesthetics and the ever enlarging obesity rates of the social construction we mistakenly call The "United" "States". Are you in fact examining a purer pre-simulationsit state (or position as a node in some technological matrix) of the "subject" as poet (rather than the poet as text) and his lack, his resistance if you will, to a conformist, capitalist agenda that in a sense creates an aporia between the quotidian needs of that same "subject" and some higher "idealistic" needs -- the need to present or rather re-present that same "subject" as a "free" "individual". If such a gloss is even remotely accurate (what is and where is and when such "accuracy" may find some redemption is, of course, another issue alogether), aren't you suffering from the same malaise, the same difficulty in etoliated communication, that all pre-modern thinkers were subject to (at least since Plato?)in that such a present was mistakenly believed to be always already there when in fact it was not. On the other hand, if you attempting a pastiche (I'm using Jameson's definition here), aren't you belittling the very physiological needs of an aesthetic in order to heiarchize the "subject" thereby perpetuating your own ideological commitments whether they be political, social, aesthetic, epistiemological, ontological, anti-obeisisticy etc.? Or is this about cars? Brad |

ACK! BRAD! do you know that you sound just like my Com. textbook???? fess up, have you read Pearce??? because as soon as we started talking social constructionism and you said re-produce (which is chillingly close to MY text's (re)express ) then you brought in that bit about foundationalism, and started spouting Pearce's favorite twenty dollar words (hermeneutical, epistemiological etc.) and putting everything in quotes...or...wait...ARE you Pearce?????? luv the severely weirded-out Elyse |

Philip: I'm guilty as charged (except for the slimming ... I have a stash of poptarts in my desk drawer). I'll try some heavyweight critique later (I eat many more of those poptarts and ALL my critiques will be heavyweight). Later.Brad: Hubris? You? Naahhh! What, exactly, were talking about ... cars maybe? Jim |

God, I hope people didn't try to decipher what I wrote except in the most light hearted way. I was spoofing academic style -- Philip said he wanted something heavy so I gave him heavy. Didn't Freud say somewhere that everything is secretly about cars? Talk to ya later, Brad |

It's not that they can't eat and think probably more like they had rather drink Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |
