Listen, and write poems based on listening.

I have a few Ezra Pound books, I don't read them. I don't read Jack Kerouac. I admire their lives, even their bigotry. That made them who they are, and they never killed anyone, directly.
I've never killed anyone directly.


Wallace Stevens will last. Pound won't. Because Pound is dry in the way Stevens is flavor.

That's it.


There's nothing else to say about it. Ezra Pound has his place and his things to play with.

Wallace Stevens is poetry of the 20th century.


Now, we know that dates and times are all collective assets.

We are worse than bigots. We are . . .


Well, there has to be differences between this and that for poetry to have an effect/affect.


There has to be determined things.


Wallace Stevens is the poetry of the play of determined things read The Rock.
