>Stop chugging the thunderbird, Dave. And the bad german, and we might not get thrown off Poetryetc. Although, y'know, if you really try... I know you love Vicky.< I like the phrase 'chugging the thunderbird', Roger, much tickled here. I think I've noticed I love Vicky too, that emotional state is an infection I thought I'd become immune to, but I've learnt to eat my words. I still think Ron Siliman (what a glorious name) is a computer program. One is reflecting on just how corrupt and materialistic and bourgeious our society is, it is reflected in our poetry, which has reverted to being a middle-class scam: give me a residence, let me be invited on a tour, please G-d may I win that prize, grant me O Lord a bursary, may I massage my metaphors to comfort the restless homeowners.

Poor Ron and LU can't help it, they were brought up by robots. Their first sight was to acquire targets, their second, lube-oil. This doesnt mean that they'll inherit the earth according to Asimov. It only means that they'll get to confuse any poor student that crosses their paths. Zzzit!!! (That's a textual representation of electricity).
