Cronaca Sovversiva Feneon-- Faits Divers & Fate's Divers: FAITS DIVERS--FATE'S DIVERS- 1 FEB 09--SLOW POETRY, CONCEPTUAL POETRY, FLARF, FENEON COLLECTIVE, AVANT POETRY & L'AMOUR PROPRE

"Jails, Institutions and Death." X's death reminded friends of that fatal love they share with the departed. For Eurydice, Orpheus traveled through the land of Death; addiction's lovers also traverse the poet's path. Returning, what different love might an addict find--what Eurydice found, what unexpected poet's path. Or what other death, torn into 14 pieces, sonnet lines, sung by the river borne head.

Expecting only a stroke victim, the ambulance arrived within minutes of the call at 29th and Wells, only to learn two more victims had been added to the passenger list. One shooting, one knifing, both critical. Calling for more paramedics, the ambulance driver was shot by a drive by. Recently returned from Iraq, Lieutenant F.W., passing by, experienced total flashback and, according to witnesses, screamed repeatedly he was taking control as he commandeered the vehicle, beginning a high speed chase still in progress.

Announcements Abound of Absolutely Avant Essential & Epochal & Now Available MOST-AVANT--
--THE WORKS WHICH IN THE VERY ACTS OF OUR READING THERM ARE BECOMING THE INSTANT AND FOUNDING CLASSICS OF THE NEW ERA

Amour propre - Essentially, the opposite of self-preservation (amour de soi). Amour propre is an acute awareness of, and regard for, oneself in relation to others. Whilst the savage person cares only for his survival, civilized man also cares deeply about what others think about him. This is a deeply harmful psychological deformation, linked to the development of human reason and political societies. At its root is a difference between being and appearing. Savage man can only "be", and has no concept of pretence: civil man is forced to compare himself to others, and to lie to himself. Rousseau traces the development of amour propre back to the first village festivals, in which competition to dance and sing well increases the villagers' awareness of each other's talents and abilities. Amour propre is best expressed in a society in which wealth dominates; there, all are compared on an insubstantial and harmful basis.

As he grew deaf to Echo's cries of love, Narcissus drowned in the doubly reflecting love by and for his own reflection. In his self contained love Narcissus needed no other's attentions other than his own and that of his own reflections. In these he differed greatly from the contemporary poets of the Mirror and Gaze
who assert their identities under the brand names of Flarf, Slow Poetry, Conceptual Poetry, Feneon Collective, Avant and those Purest of Seekers, whom one might call the Most Avant.

One of the most striking aspects of al these various branches of the "American Tree' is that each labors on under the same delusions of the Language poets that thy are furnishing a critique of capitalism, or a critique of some aspect of capitalist manifestations in language, and so have, even for some brief interval of time, a radical edge to them, a transgressive and sexily dangerous "aura" of the Benjaminian "original."

Yes--the "original" and its aura--not to mention the incredibly high value of its aura--have endured and multiplied beyond imagining despite al the philosopher's insights. And what poet today does not still aspire, even in being a machine, unoriginal, boring, copying, to be still, al the same, WORTH A LOT OF MONEY--AND OF A MUCH HIGHER VALUE CULTURALLY ALSO--TO BE AMONG THE ELITE--as Kenny G argued in a recent Harriet post which was discussed here in terms of the Garden Dwarfs of Hans Richter--

One of the great paradoxes of American language of any kind today is that it is so riddled with double talk and hypocrisy it is almost incapable of expressing anything which actually exists in terms of facts and "events on the ground." The possibility of persons seeing the doubleness of the words in front of them has vanished entirely. An unquestioning belief has set in which is usually reserved for the reading of fictions, and the sort of skepticism and jeering usually thrown at make believe is saved for facts and actualities.

Having far to much to do today i asked my friend G-A Vidiamodopo to write something until i have more time--
and he has surprised me by not at al writing in his customary vein--

i agree with him that American poetry is already so Slow is missing everything al around it in the world--
what i cal the Hidden in Plain Site/Sight/Cite
working directly from materials in the streets with rubBEings and clay impressions, the materials on one side of the paper, the hands on the other, touching each other and and the paper--collaborating--
teaches the hands to see and the eyes to touch, to feel and the ears to see and touch also--

the high speeds of perceptions and the senses are entering in with the awarenesses of each moment which is happening in the world as the pieces are being made--the movements of the wind, the dust, dirt, the noises of machines, voices of passersby, sounds of birds or animals--stenches of dumpsters--

these things moving with great speed and as Robert Smithson noted the ART OF LOOKING of the artist takes place in time--and creates art as real as any object--and why make an object which is sold and owned for far less than what the artist has earned by his time--the time in the learning how to create in this way the years of discipline dedication devotion to working in a way which is not dependent on the networks of things and systems which the so called Slow Poetry is--and the so called Fast Poetry is also

all of them are slow already!!

there is no critique in any of these works as they simply replicate and mirror the systems they pretend to critique--the reasons for this are in part that in order to function in their jobs and continue writing as they do do, poets have to deny the reality of a great many things--the whole US policy towards Israel alone as a Democratic nation has to be examined for what is--as an Apartheid War Criminal Nation breaking laws--as are the USA-- by the minute with the equipment we supply and the vast sums of money--
so that --is electing a Black President meaningful if we al support Apartheid?

a simple denial of reality like this means that the language is already on such shaky grounds that its claims to be critical of itself collapse like castles made of sand--
if one starts to examine the news and the reviews the essays the claims made in books and al around one on all manner of things historical economic philosophic and begins to detect patterns of falsehoods or bias, or finds out that so many things held up as authoritative are simply plagiarisms or lies, copied over and over and repeated ad nausuem until they are are taken as truths--
then of course one wil believe that these poetries are "critical" of the very things they mirror in every way

truly this is the reason one finds amour propre the major mode among so many of the avant poets--in their behavior and thinking--the destructiveness and the lack of critique anything outside the tiny world--the absolute lack of historical perspective or denial of it--ahistorical claims and colonializations of badly or deliberately distranslated versions of hackneyed copies of texts whose origins are dubious--

truly this is why i have invented what has already been existing--the New Extreme Experimental American Poetry--
where the use of torture which is continuing under different guises despite what the President says, and the installment right away of lobbyists despite the new standards, and the killing of civilians despite the President's words of non respect for anyone who does this--
when the leader every day contradicts every firm statement he makes not only in word but in deed, it gives the green light for the continued contradiction of al uses of language, al words to mean their opposites, al words to mean nothing or mean only what one wants them to at that moment--

and the words only mean what the strong and the rich want to them to and only now and later on they will mean something else

that is whY there is no critique launched in anY of these poetries--
none of them examines is the fundamental problem which is that in order for the system to exist one has to accept al the lies with which one lives every day and not only accept them but begin to assert loudly and with hostility towards others that they are true

JENNY HOLZER'S MEGABUCKS EARNING "PROJECTIONS" EXHIBITION

CHARLES BERNSTEIN: DARK AT END"

AS SO OFTEN IN THESE TIMES CHAOTIC, CONFUSING AND CROWDED WITH SO MANY POETIC ALTERNATIVES AMONG THE AUGUST AVENUES OF THE AISLES OF AN AMERICAN ACADEMIC AVANT, I HAVE FOUND IT NECESSARY TO TURN TO MY FRIEND PROFESSORE G-A VIDIAMODOPO, IL FONDATORE, IL MAESTRO DI LE PAROLE IN LIBERACE

FOR SOME BASIC QUESTIONS WITH WHICH TO BEGIN THINKING ABOUT THE ISSUES WHICH CONFRONT ONE IN THOSE INSTANCES WHEN ONE IS PREVAILED UPON TO EXAMINE THE BLOGOSPHERES OF THE VARIOUS ALREADY INDUCTED STATUARY OF THE EPOCHS PRESENT AND TO ARRIVE AND BE SUSTAINED VIA GENERATIONS OF ANNOTATIONS AND FOOTNOTED BIBLIOGRAPHIES OF STANDARDIZED ENTRIES--

HERE ARE THE GRACIOUS AND GENEROUS WORDS WHICH IL MAESTRO HAS BEEN SO KIND TO SHARE WITH US TODAY--

First, thank you for inviting my participation in these matters; AND THANK YOU FOR THE SANDWICHES AND COFFEE. aS YOU KNOW, THE PRIMARY REASON FOR AN ARTIST TO ATTEND SUCH EVENTS IS TO EAT A BIT BETTER THAN ONE DOES AT HOME, IF ONE MAY SO Designate THE SITE WHERE ONE IS PERMITTED TO PLACE ONE'S BODY FOR PORTIONS OF THE 24 HOUR CYCLE OF DAY AND NIGHT.

Having PERUSED THE MATERIALS WITH WHICH i HAVE BEEN PROVIDED REGARDING slow poetry, conceptual poetry, flarf, Feneon collective, avant poetry, i THINK THAT THEY ARE ALL BOUND BY A COMMON PURPOSE. That IS TO PLACE THEM AT THE CENTER OF ATTENTION OF THE POETIC UNIVERSE IN WHICH THEY PERCEIVE THEMSELVES DWELLING. By ANY MEANS NECESSARY, AND SOME OF THEM VERY MEAN. IN FACT THEY MEAN SO TO SPEAK MAY BE DEFINED AT TIMES AS BEING MEAN, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. AFTER ALL, ONE MUST HAVE ONE'S LITTLE JOKES, YES!

IF oNE READS CAREFULLY IN AL THESE VARIOUS BRANCHES OF THE GREAT "AMERICAN TREE"--THEY ARE ALL PREPONDERANTLY HEAVY WITH THE SAME FRUIT--THAT OF THE SELF, THE EGO, THE AUTOBIOGRApHICAL I--EVEN IN CRITIQUING THE SELF, THERE IS THE RESORT TO CONFESSION, SELF EXAMINaTION, WHICH HAS ITS OrGINS IN LITERATURE IN ROUSSEAU--WHO LIKE HENRY MILLER FOUND HIMSELF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING OF TOPICS ON WHICH TO DISCOURSE--

NOTE THAT IN EACH OF THESE SCHOOLS OF POETICS THE CONCENTRATION OF EMPHASIS IS ON ThE EGO WHICH LIKE THE EGG BINDS ToGEHER THE SEEMINGLY WILLFULLY AND STRAINED EFFORTS TO APPEAR AS THOUGH RANDOMLY CHOSEN. NOTE IN THAT PARAGON OF THE URGE TO BECOME a MACHINE MR KENNY G THAT HIS ENTIRE WORKS ARE CONCERNED WITH HIMSELF. HIS RECORD OF HIS MOEVEMENTS IN A DAY, HIS NOTATIONS OF THE WEATHER IN HIS NICHE OF THE WORLD, OR NECK OF THE WOODS TO QUOTE A FAMOUS WEAtHER PERSON WHOM HE NO DOUBT EMULATES.

WHAT IS FLARf BUT AN AGGRESSIVE ASSERTION OF ONE'S EGO VIA THE SELECTION OF AGGRESSIVE PHRASES AND WORDS FROM OUT OF THe AGGRESSIVE AND INTRUSIVE BOMBARDMENTS OF SPAM, THOSE NON STOP SALESPERSON

AND NOSeY NeIGHBORS THOS EPOLICEPERSONS AND PENTECOSTALS KICKING DOWN ONES FIREWALLS AND dOORS ONES MIND AND ENTERING IN AND TAKING OVER IF ONE IS NOT CAREFUL?

FLARF THEN IS A MODE OF RESISTANCE ONE IS TOLD TO THIS HOME EVASION. AND IS IT NOT THE RIGHT OF EVERY HOME OWNER TO SECURE AND PROTECT THEMSELVES, DOES NOT ISRAEL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF?

THE FENEON COLLECTIVE IS ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE HOME INVASION TACTIC. FEELING CONTINUALLY INVADED, IT PREPARES TO LAUNCH A COUNTER TERRORISM ATTACK I n WHICH THE INVADERS ARE SATIRIZED AND MOCKED AND MImicED BY NAME.

HOWEVER MY YOUNG FRIEND AS AN OLD DETECTIVE OF LITERARY CRIMES, DOES THIS NOT MEAN THAT THE VICTIM KNOWS THEIR ASSAULTER AND IN FIGHTING BACK HAS RECOGNIZED THEM AHEAD of TIME AND SO MAY BE ACCUSED OF A PEREMPTORY SELF DEFENSE?

IMMEDIATELY ONE FINDS THAT POETICS INVOLVES A LANGUAGE AND MINDSET OF WAR. THIS IS DUE TO COMPETITION AND NOW THAT THE ECONOMY IS GOING TO NOSEDIVE LIKE A KAMIKAZE PLANE IN A HEROIC OLD FILM OF THE LAST GREAT GENERATION DEFEATING THE AXIS OF EVIL AND BEING ABLE TO DROP WITH OUT DEBATE THE ATOMIC BOMBS--WELL--

YES--NOW IN THIS NEW PERIOD OF THE LEAN AND MEAN FIGHTING MACHINES AS FORESEEN AND DEFINED AND PREPARED DESPITE ALL PROOFS TO THE CONTRARY AT THE TIME BY THAT VISIONARY POET NOW STUDYING AT STANFORD WITH THE WORLD'S LEADING CRITICAL THEORIST OF AVANTISM MAJOR GENERAL MARJORIE PERLOFF, THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HIS EMeNinCE ME DONALD RUMSFELD, In THESE LEANER MEAN TIMES, OF COURSE, THE POETIC COMPETITIONS ARE GETTING EVER FIERCER FOR EVER FEWER JOBS--

SO EACH ONE, EACH POET MUST SHARPEN THEIR skills, their nails, their teeth--their wits their knives--, MAKE THEM AL THE MORE DANGEROUSLY BARBED, AL THE MORE ARMED WITH A WEAPONRY NOT ONLY OVERT BUT COVERT, RESORTING TO SUCH UNDERHAND TACTICS AS THE GOVERNMENT DOES, TApPING PHONES AND hacking COMPUTERS AND ASSIGNING AL MANNERS OF DOCUMENTS AND IDENTITIES THEFTS IN ORDER TO SUBVERT NOT SIMPLY GRAMMAR BUT ALSO THE HARD WON NETWORKS AND EFFORTS OF RIVALS

THIS AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL AND CONFESSIONAL MODE IS EVER PRESENT IN THAT THE ONE WAY IN WHICH COMPARISONS AMONG POETS MAY BE MADE IS TO EXPOSE THEMSELVES IN WHAT THEY FEEL ARE THEIR MOST TELLING AND PRECIOUS DIFFERENCES THEIR DIFFERENCES THE MOST VALUABLE IN TERMS OF THE RANKINGS WHICH SOCIETY AND CULTURAL ESTYABLISMENTS ACCORD THEM.

THEREFORE ONE HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN KEEPING ALIVE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF ETHNICITY AND ARGUMENTS WHICH ARE NOT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THAT REACHING ACROSS THE AISLES OF WITCH THE NEW PRESIDENT SPEAKS, BUT INSTEAD, TO DEEPEN THESE DIVIDES IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

ONLY IN THAT WAY MAY ONE SAY THAT ONE POETIC MODE IS MORE WORTH WHILE MORE VALUABLE MORE DUE TO BE TAUght AND PURCHASED THAN ANOTHER

DO YOU SEE MY YOUNG FReinD?

READ EACH OF THESE KINDS OF POETRY CLOSELY AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

ALSO you HAVE ASKED ME--WHAT DO AND WHY DO THEY SAY AND ACCUSE--EACH OTHER AND NOT ACCUSE EACH OTHER BUT REMAIN SILENT--OVER WHO HAS OR NOT WRITTEN OR SPOKEN ABOUT THE WARS OR PRISONS--OR GAZA GITMO OR GAPS IN RICH AND POOR--

THIS IS THE REASON MY FRIEND--NO ONE DARES TO SPEAK ON ANY OF THESE THINGS BECAUSE IF THEY DO IT MAY NOT BE THE OPinION OF THEIR BOSSES OF THEIR COLLEAGUES OF THE PEOPLE WHO HANDLE THE PUrSE STRINGS AND ALREADY THEIR ARE SOME EXAMPLES, MANY, IN WHICH PERSONS WHO HAVE SPOKEN OUT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER OFTEN VERY SMALL HAVE BEEN MORE THAN SEVERAL already REPRIMANDED--AND THERE IS PRESSURE TO HAVE THE NEW PRESIDENT MAKE MUCH TOUGHER THE ALREADY EXISTING ACTS OF 2004

DO YOU SEE MY FRIEND THE SILENCE IS BECAUSE THAT IS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. EVEN THOSE WHO ASK AND POINT FINGERS AND SAYS--WHY AR THOSE PEOPLE SILENT--HAVE THEY THESMLVES EVER SPOKNEN OUT? NO THEY HAVE NOT. THEY POINT AT OTHERS TO SHOW BRAVADO BUT WHEN IT COMES DONE TO MAKING A CRITIQUE IT IS NOT THERE AND WILL NOT BE THERE.

MY FRIEND THE SUM TOTAL OF AL THESE EVENTS SLOW CONCEPTUAL FLARF FENEON COLLECTIVE AVANT IS THAT AL OF THEM ARE EXTREMELY SLOW ALREADY

VERY CAUTIOUS AND SAFE BECAUSE THE MAIN THING IS

ALREADY AL THESE MOVEMENTS ARE ENSHRINED VERY SWIFTLY.

SLOW POETRY--AMERICAN POETRY IS SO ENTROPIC THAT IT IS ALREADY NEARLY AT A STANDSTILL--

THE SIGN OF THIS IS THAT IT CRAVES EVEN MORE SLOWNESS

IT WANTS TO LIE DOWN AND NAP!!

FOR ALONG TIME!!

TAKE A NICE LONG SNOOZE!!

IF ONE EXAMINES THE SITUATION MY FRIEND WHAT IS THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLE IN AL THESE MOVEMENTS BESIDES THE MIRROR AND THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

IT IS BOREDOM

BAUDELAIRE WARNED OF THE GOUFFRE-THE HORROR OF THE GOUFFRE, LE NEANT--THE HORROR OF THIS HAUNTED HIM TERRIFIED HIM--

"L'ACEDIE, LA MALADIE DES MOINES"--ACEDIA, THE DISEASE OF MONKS--

BECAUSE --IDLE HANDS DO THE DEVIL'S WORK--MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL MASTURBATION--LST AND ANGER AT OTHERS--PETTY JEALOUSIES--OBSESSIVE TAKING NOTE OF OTHER'S MINOR FAULTS--DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR WITH WITH WHICH TO FEEL THE CHASMS OF THE VOID--

ETHICAL NITPICKING STEADILY INTERFERING AND EVER MORE INTERTWINED WITH AESTHETICS--

PREJUDICES AND OPINIONS DEVLOPED INTO SYSTEMS OF THOUGHT AND PHILOSOPHY--RESEARHCES SUBSTITUTED BYT MEMORIZATIONS OF THE WORDS OF THE LEADERS, THE SAINTS, THE ONES THEMOST IMPORTART TO QUOTE FROM AT THE MOMENT

THE BLUFFER'S GUIDE TO BEING A WORLD CLASS ASS LICKER A BROWN NOSER A KOW TOWER AN EARNER OF BROWNIE POINTS A TEACHER'S PET A SYCOPHANT--

OUT OF BOREDOM THE WEAVING OF WEBS--NETWORKS IN WHICH SPIDERS CATCH FLIES AND DRAINOF THEIR JICES AND PROCAOIM THSMLEVES TOUGH GUYS OR ESLE bUDDHISTS AND DISCUSS THE MORALITY OF TERRITORIALIAING INTELLECTUAL PROPERIITES

COLONIZATIONSOF ETHNO POTICS RIPPING OFF THE OTHER AND BEING HAILED AS A SAINT--BOBOREDOM LEDS TO THE ERASURES OF THE PAST SO THAT ONE MAY CLAIM THEM AS ONE'S OWN--

REVISIONIST HHISTORIES CREATED BY BORED MISSIONARIES OF THE EVIL SPIRITS--SETTLERS OF EMPT SPACES--HEAVY WITH WORDS--NAMES--RULES--SYNTACTICAL TACTICS--

DISCUSSIONS OF SUBVERSIONS OF CAPITAL--TEXT MESSAGING FROM THE POLLUTING AUTMOPMOBILE LISTENING TO THE CD PLAYER AND RELAXED BY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARSOF THERAPY AND PILLS--OR SESSIONS WITH THE ROSHI

IDLE HANDS DO THE devil's WORK--THE BORED GO OUT AND COMMIT CRIMES OR GET INTO DOPE OR START OFF BEING ENTERTAINED AND WIND UP IN THE BUSINESS OF ENSLAVING OTHERS TO SELL TO ENTERTAIN OTHERS FOR MONEY--

AND THESE POETS AL OF THEM HAVE GROWN SO BORED WITH THE USUAL ROUNDS OF THE SAME OLD SAME OLD THEY ARE CONTINUALLY TRYING TO COME U WITH SOME THING TO WHILE SITTING IN FRONT OF THEIR SCREENS IN WHICH THEY ARE CONTINUALLY CONFRONTED BY THEIR REFLECTIONS--

AND SO BEING BORED AND SELF ABSORBED THEY REALIZE MY GOD I WANT EVERYBODY TO PAY ATTENTION TO ME

AND SO THEY START GOING ABOUT I ABOUT I BY MAKINGS UP SOME RADICAL INNOVATIVE MOVEMENT WHICH ULTIMATELY FOUNDS--BASES-- ITSELF ON THE IDEA OF BEING BORING

kEROUAC QUOTED cELINE: tHE pOLICE OPERATE WITH NINE LINES OF BORDOM AND ONE LINE OF LAW--

THE MOST RADICAL MOVE TO GAIN THE MOST ATTENTION FOR ONESELF

THIS IS WHY NO ONE WRITES OR THINKS OF ANYTHING TO DO OUTSIDE THEMSELVES

IT IS FORBIDDEN IF ONE IS to KEEP ONE'S JOB

AND TO KEEP ONES JOB MEANS ONE IS LOCKED iNTO WATCHING NOT SO JUST OUT FOR ONESELF BUT PRETTY MUCH ONLY ONESELF--ON EVERY SIDE, VIA AL THE MIRRORS AND CAMERAS ONE CAN AFFORD AND AL THE ATTENTION DRAWN GAMES OF AL THE ONES ONE HAS MNANGED TO HOOK INTO ON'ES SHOW AT EVERY POSSIBLE MOMENT--

WHICH MEANS ABSORBED IN ONESELF

WHICH MEANS BORED

AND THAT MEANS DESPERATE FOr ATTENTION

AND SO ONE WILL GET EVER MORE

POETRY MOVEMENTS

OF EVER

TINIER

AND NARROW SCOPES

AND WITH EVER MORE DEBATES AND ever MORE COUNTER MOVEMENTS AND CONFERENCES PAPERS BLOGS AND NAMES AND TEXTS AND Glorious WONDERFUL ATTENTION AND MAYBE SOME PAY RAISES AND ADORING STUDENTS

AND MY GOD

ONE WON'T BE SUFFERING THAT AWFUL BOREDOM FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS

UNTIL ONE IS AGAIN LEFT ALONE WITH ONESELF CONFRONTING

LE GOUFFRE

AND THE PRESSURES

OF THE BILLS AND THE FACT THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS GETTING MORE ATTENTION THAN YOU ARE FOR THE MOVEMENT

AIN'T THAT SO MY MAN--

NOW LOOK AT THIS POET HERE WITH IS GUN --

LOOK AT HIM

DEATH IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN LIFE

THAT IS HIS MUSE

AND YOU KNOW HE DID DIE FEW YEARS LATER

DRUGS AND DEATH METH AND DEATH

NOW YOU SEE THAT IS AN HOnEST DEATH

AN HONEST LOVE A LOVE OF SOMETHING OUTSIDE ONESELF

DOPE AND DEATH--DON'T YOU THINK SO???--SEE WHAT I MEAN--

LEAVE IT TO THE POETS TO LOVE THEMSELVES--IT'S MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN LIFE TOO---

AND FOR THE REST OF US TO HAVE THE HONOR OF CLEANING THE GUANO OFF THEIR Equestrian Fascist STATUES UNTIL ONE DAY THEY ARE JUST Stowed AWAY—

Outta sight--IN THE CEMETERY--OR THE MUSEUM--OR SMASHED AND USED FOR MORTAR TO HOLD SOME GARDEN OR LAWN WALLS TOGETHER--

AS THOUGH EITHER ONE OF US MY DEAR FRIEND WOULD EVEN ON THE PENALTY OF DEATH WIPE THE HORSE'S ASS OF A FASCIST THE WAY THESE OTHERS WOULD TO SURVIVE!!
WRITING HYMNS OF PRAISE TO THIS FUNCTION--AND NOTING THE BEAUTY OF THE QUALITY OF THE PEDIGREE--
MUCH AS DOES MR KENNY G--
NO MY FRIEND EVEN AFTER WE HAD KILLED THIS HORSE THIS PETRIFIED STATUE WE WOULD NOT EVEN EAT ITS MEAT OR USE IT DUST TO MAKE ANYTHING WITH AT ALL--
