Last time I said that I had pointed out to me things in my writing which are
considered pomo and which I was doing before pomo became a trendy word
I took to saying _I'm still a modernist_ as a corrective to the glib use of
the term
and I still wonder what will happen when we get to post-post-modernism
(when pomo began to assert itself a few of us declared ourselves
post-futurists - i think it was cris cheek started that one but can't be
sure, I know i *didn't - anyway more than a few made a note of it
