maybe its just me but there's something intensely unreal about a tiny pale green caterpillar crawling slowly across my screen as I type this. And he's on the outside of the screen, my side of reality, this touchable world. However, in the space between this sentence and the last, he has fallen off, shaken himself, realized the absurdity of his position and slunk away under the colossal weight of the improbability of him being here at all. A consciousness poised between 'history and ignorance': someone , I forget who, said that to be a great poet beyond twenty five one needs a sense of politics. or something to the effect, the point to me being that before the age of 25 one can be a great poet nevertheless.
"I want to do to you what spring does to the cherry trees" now theres a thought... chile is one place i miss, all the time i's somewhere else, but then every point in the space time continuum where i'm not is a place i miss so....

oh my goodness, I have to say this-how do you write like that - I could visualise eveything so well, almost like I was saying those words myself. And I simply must compliment you on the design - you should be working for Karim Rashid, I can see your design sensiblity breaking the boundaries of rationality which we have been subjected to for the past century - oh well atleast ever since Bauhaus ceased to exist, and Jan Tischichold published his "Assymetric Typography" between the wars.
"There can be neither a genuinely new, nor a 'reactionary' typography, but only good or bad typography."
What was that about quotes again???
oh you're mean, and also miffed about the quote thing aren't you? but hey gimme a break if nothing else three years of english should give you the right to pick on ppl. misquoting both eliot and marvel and all in one go... i mean i think the only future career my course might possibly qualify me for is one in condescension... right... and incidentally i'm disqualifying anonymous comments. stick your neck out said the carpenter to the turtle.
p.s. i was gonna start with somethin about public forums and airing your dirty laundry but then i remembered a mail titled " yo here's the chaddimaster! blast em chaddis" and i'm sure i quoted that right.
