: : : No one wants to read poetry in 2001. No one even want to read Poe except "The Raven", for Christ's sake.
: : The pure unbridled stupidity of this little blurb is almost god-like. Are you serious? You must hang out with some pretty intellectually devoid people if you believe it.
: I was referring to "people" in the broader sense than the people in my circle of friends and acquaintances, who I would never be fool enough to pretend represented the population at large in any manner at all, but I suppose that was too challenging a notion for you to grasp.
You write poetry about View Askew movies and post them repeatedly to message boards, you are the intellectual superior of no one.
There are earthworms with stronger claims to the intellectual high ground in debates about art and literature. Jesus Christ, man, look at yourself in the mirror and pray to God that you'll get a clue. That you'll know what's happening outside your insular little word of pretention. That you'll stop making a complete jackass of yourself in public.
Or at least you'll be put out of you misery, so you can take a load off the rest of us.
