    DaDaDream

    Institutionalized farewell

    To my disembodied competition

      During DireDaDaDream

    Your shell, you’re trying

    TheRabbitHoles

    That fill you with

    LizardWomenPornography

    In I terrible; a stereotype!

    Me growing a meaning

    During SadDrug AtomicBombing

      Of death; I now become
    Somber Cyberpunk

    In indifference the for DO NOT BRAIN

    They say that is the ExpectationWorld;

    A TheUnitedStatesOfAmerica

    For DafurDays and GreyGrayGræi

    During in become for a DeathScary

    Awake Cthulu in a thought

    Says it’s don’t I but sprechen

    The down possibility

    AndAndAnd TearGasCanister

    TheHead come bid farewell

    Dear stigbonoison, // I am familiar with DaDa and have read its history and appreciate its art. My belief is that DaDa is a high-wire walk. It srains to be itself with the tension between nihilism and the revolt against nihilism, struggling for meaning like a dying person gasping for life. Sometimes the struggle and the tension produce somethin worthwhile. //Even if you were smoking something when you wrote this, that didn't stop Kubla Khan and Xanadu, and it didn't stop you. // I undertand what it means to be "growing a meaing" amidst the angst that too much knowledge of the world, its present realities and its history, can cause. // Little pieces of reality look nice, and are nice. They should be looked at and appreciated. But the big picture of It All shows the world and life to be a DireDaDaDream. // Your political references are serious and real, but the over-all meaning of a poem struggling to have meaning against the meaningless, is existential and deep below the surface of everything. The "down possibility" is always present, threatening harm, even to overwhelm reality. // If you ever really and fully fall in love, or if you find a friend so precious and perfect for you--and I have done both--you will realize that Camus was right when he wrote: "Absurdity reigns, but love saves us from it.' As for meaning, Camus wrote that "Man has a meaning, because he insists on having one." In the conventions of the time, he meant to include men and women in this statemen. // Albert Camus is one of my favorite philosophers. He wrote many things that move me emotionally and esthetically--in other workds, he was a poet--and he wrote things that mean much to me. He wrote this: "Do not walk ahead of me; I may not follow. Do not walk behind me; I may not lead. Walk beside me; and just be my friend." // I hope that you and I might walk for a little time, side by side; and that we will be friends. --MIchael LP, Mr. Poet

    I don't know what you were smoking when this came to mind, but your stream-of-consciousness trip is interesting, but for me not compelling. Perhaps, I'm just choking on the smoke.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
