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?
