Happy New Year, Rowens,
it is really just about a tomcat. I like to fool around with words to create a certain athmosphere. I do want to manipulate readers' subconsciousness. Why? Because I want to share how and what I feel about life. Having spent many years with cats I've come to consider them to be Zen masters. I am not interested in creating l'art pour l'art. I find this dull. It is like masturbating in public, So I am not too impressed by Mallarmé, Rilke etc. I also find it rather silly to disguise riddles as poems. I earned my living for some time by writing technical reports. I'm not striving for being opaque. I do not write to impress. Since of late I am very much drawn to Husserl's phenomenology, because I find it helpful in order to cope with my life (shortcut: making sense of what is). I am drawn also to a post-Parnassian approach to writing as a form of art. Writing to me is communicating with the world and at the same time reflecting upon this communication and sharing my reflections with the world. I enjoy to be able to entertain myself. It is that simple and that is as simple as a cat's approach to life.
cheers Serge
