You might throw something their way sometime, as tormented and angst ridden as many of them seem to be.
Did I forget probable alcoholics?

what's the idea in this, that you're breaking into our consciousness, as though the thoughts were getting torn in the atmosphere before they hit our head...?
it's kind of interesting, and kind of obnoxious too -- that it takes for granted that we're going to put this into our poem tube and give you the credit as 'author'.

I had no idea we have a poem tube.
What is a poem tube?
— jjsirius [!]
it's how the poem focuses the melodic and visual of your consciousness, through the natural kinesthesia of image and sound and motion -- motion is what a poem creates that prose can't create.
the tube is a combination of the natural high of sensation and consciousness, and the remembered poems you've read as poetry.
so, this one of yours becomes a poem because it trips as poetry, and because i know i'm supposed to read something called a poem as though it were part of yeats and shelly and ginsberg and, for this one particularly, H.D. -- and all the rest of the poets i like.
then, above that, which is maybe how twisted the tube is, i'm open to innovation and invention -- both as poetry and as language.

Well, overall the consensus seems to be it is a HUGE load of shit.
So, I guess the tube's out.

[ Huh, I thought unknown was commenting on my poem but it looks like he's disappointed with cadmium's critique. ]
The poem which was critiqued has, over time, served its buyers well.
