You mock, David, you mickey-mocker : but everything starts over with me.

Poetry is (& always was) the beginning of is.

I continually start over with what is basic and universal, in contrast to the complacent assumptions, the in-group distinctions, the tendentious binaries, the parochialism, the superficiality - all those distractions from the real thing. The aim should be the disinterested reader, not the insider networks.
