an essay in collective amnesia

The post-avant have introduced Fordism to poetry, but planned obsolescence is for the others, not for themselves.

But is it still the same car if all the parts have been replaced?

i dunno if it was the same car in the first place

if all the parts have been replaced
wouldn't that confuse the orchestra?

Readers, this is how we Australians approach the intricacies of poetic theory.

my comments were not just atelic rumblings
but sure Australia could do with more
writings on poetic theory there's a lack
there for sure

a little tale.
this bloke walks out to his car on his way to work
he's just going to put the key in the door but stops
and hurries off to the police station down the road
he says to the duty sergeant "my car has been stolen
and i have a good idea who it was!" "who might that
be" says the duty sergeant "philosophy" says the bloke
"ah!" says the duty sergeant "and what is this character's first name?"
