33?

33 dead on a campus in the US? Ok.
20 dead in Rio De Janeiro.
37 dead in Baghdad.

Just so you know that the killing never stops, and a campus shooting on a given day is nothing special, nothing to get worked up about.

Try and fail, please

I have to agree with Brion Gysin that the development of literature, in general, is 50 years behind painting. There are infinite possibilities, and if we/I/someone will fuck up once in a while we shouldn't be too distressed. Please feel free to experiment.

Where can poetry go when the language of emotions has been taken over by the media and the corporate world, and a catchy phrase like "Your life is waiting" can appear on a TV commercial for antidepressants?
