a) There is something terribly wrong with the society in which we live.
b) This is something to do with our incapacity, of which Capitalism is one
manifestation.
c) Poetry is the only thing I can think of doing in the face of it
d) It might do something. Just as likely to achieve a result as holy water,
voting, reasonable argument etc; preferable to violence
e) If it doesn't markedly change the world, at least it's a way of passing
the time between oblivion and oblivion that I can live with, as long as I
don't start pursuing poetry as a Poetry Career. Anyway, I have tried giving
up poetry and both times I went more bananas than usual
.
