I attended a poetry reading yesterday (I was photographing the event), and I believe it was the genesis of the following…<\/p>\n

Naked Boredom<\/strong>
\nBoredom.
\nMore boredom
\nand even more, boredom.
\nOh, hold on, naked
\nmore naked
\neven more naked
\nnaked!
\nhmmmm..naked subsiding
\nless naked
\nmore boredom
\nonly boredom
\nboredom.<\/p>\n

Blanketed by Perception<\/strong>
\nI blanketed them with my perception
\nmy fuzzy blanket
\nthe one that hides sharp corners.<\/p>\n

Diary Entry<\/strong>
\nFriday,
\nAt the mall:
\nMust get away from this blathering Zoltar.<\/p>\n

The Cleverest<\/strong>
\nHe was the cleverest writer
\nWhatever he wrote was the most clever
\nAnd what he wrote…
\nnever\u00a0landed on\u00a0paper.<\/p>\n

Mass Culture<\/strong>
\nmass media
\nmass consumption
\nmass market
\nmass culture
\nmass = density
\ndensity = impenetrability
\nimpenetrability = closed system
\nclosed system = independence from input
\n..human input.<\/p>\n

The Pudgy Critic<\/strong>
\n“Thumbs down”, he said.
\n“worst popcorn ever.”<\/p>\n

(RIP R.E.)<\/p>\n
