Imitation/Improv 1, Week 6

Excerpt from Gabriel Gudding's "A Defense of Poetry" (Writing Poetry, p.165):

For I have bombed your
cat and stabbed it.  For
I am the ambassador
of this wheelbarrow and
you are the janitor of a
dandelion.  Indeed, you
are a teacher of great
chickens, for you are
from the town of Fat
Blastoroma, O tawdry
realtor.  For I have clap-
ped your dillywong in a
sizeable door.


"Surrealist Manifesto"

Your mind is not a light-
bulb.  It is a fried egg.
It bleeds a yellow sun
and drowns any proof
that objects have bound-
aries.  Your mind is a
fraud--a prisoner who
justifies his thoughts of
crazy with pure insan-
ity.  Your mind is not
a revolution.  Your
mind will not stand.
Your mind is not a rev-
olution.  It is not an
evolution.  Your mind
is not Hitler; it is not
evil.  Evil is a thought.
