Ha! Seriously. You listen to Charles Bronson, buddy. Oh Bronson, you know so many things. Impart your wisdom unto us, your faithful servants, who live and die by your hand...
you shdn't speak ill of the dead but...i spose you take all your poetic cues from silliman et al... & the l a n g u a g e front for academia/translation/reincarnation of ts eliot forever & into pseudo-political arguments etc...
That's bible-speak, not academic blah-blah-blah. I know you're still mad at me for using latin in poems, but seriously, dead language for dead people. Think about it. And there's nothing wrong with Charles Bronson; I thought everything he said in your manifesto was brilliant. He was great in the Twilight Zone and Playhouse 90. Sorry.
