I pit these obnoxious pseudo-intellectual poets

@booklyn

freedom of expression vs. proper context?
think the poets get short shrift in this culture, and ideas are less important than things. I mean for fcksake 1/3 of the world cannot read!!! much less write.

At the very least you are talking about the ideas this young poet, who had either courage or hubris enough to express himself in an increasingly repressive age.
Verlaine who was 18 when he wrote “destroy all knowledge”?

I prithee, if, perchance thou shouldst return, I should count it a boon if thou wouldst deem to bear withal clarity of expression. And, mayhaps, grammar. Ere I die. And stuff. Y’know.

I dunno. Seems kind of anti-intellectual to rant about someone getting an opportunity to share an artistic creation, however it comes out, when you have multiple assemblies each term at school to celebrate children who play catch with a ball.

Hmm, lousy amateur poetry compared to “children who play catch with a ball”?

capybara unintentionally makes a perfectly accurate comparison! Well done!
