Sharon, I think this kind of thing produces 'that'. One looks to see if to see if you are among the selected - even if subjected to damming satire - and, if you are not, there one is again, the ignored poet lost in the dark margins! So a repulsion to the vehicle that has ignored us! To repeat,this is the work of a precocious kid trying to 'blast' his way "in", avant gardist et tout. "In" is such a fragile thing and no one owns "it" nor "you", for that matter. Good stuff makes it way up through the ground, maybe even years after the make is buried way down.
Stephen, humbly submits
