Interestingly relating to Heather's story project, Fred, at least as
to stories not to tell children. But contained within the lyric
detourned. Or the narrative thus done.
'God' may have a reply, but I can't think of one right now....
For everything....

"detourned" --- you're thinking of what the Situationists used to do w/
comic strips, etc. I liked the Sitautionists. Haven't thought of all that
for a long time but you're right, it does have something to do with my
technique, and very clearly so in these poems. A systematic trashing of
other people's myths.
God makes the same reply to everything, from ideals and nations down to
protons. "The cold and the dark."
