As you may have gathered, I go back and forth about the importance of clarity. Certainly, "difficult" poems can sometimes do a better job of conveying an ultimately recondite reality. Thanks, Paul!

It doesn't need to mean - it expresses! Very nice. I especially liked: <i>The river bears thousands of planets & the church lifts an elliptical wine, reminding us of lust on old records.</i> Oooo, yeah! What it means? It doesn’t need to mean – it expresses! Very nice.

I especially liked:

The river bears thousands of planets
& the church lifts an elliptical wine,
reminding us of lust on old records.

Oooo, yeah!

Yeah, that's basically what I was getting at; glad it came through. Hearing is such a neglected sense -- i mean, I realize primates are exceptionally visual, but still. I've been very influenced by Walter Ong's phenomenological analysis in <em>Orality and Literacy</em> -- have you read it? Wonderful study. Thanks.

Next time, that's what I'll do.
