american dreams


"american dreams"

a pillar of light and puppy dog tales
a circle of jerks and perfume-built whales
a loop of holiness and blackflag sails
all of which are American Dreams

Wow, a thinly veiled diatribe on American militarism, there's some unique subject matter.
Just when I think it couldn't possibly get any worse, you post another one. It's like watching a very dumb elephant try to employ subtlety and pretend to be deep.

I have to ask about the CAP link, though. Are you serious about that, or is that a bit of not-so-clever irony?

I appreciate your visit - and I promise - it will get MUCH worse - hehe.

I never said any of this was good - or even close to decent - it's just a warehouse for what would otherwise (and arguably should) deteriorate on paper.

As for the capalert link - you make up your own mind. Thanks for stopping by! Perhaps the criticism I get will help me post something worthwhile eventually. By the way, I'm not writing any of this shlop now (as in presently) Most of these were just exercises for myself when I needed to vent or just flat out express myself - kind of like the old mantra - "a writer writes, always" - exercises I would try to do every day - so a lot of times they are mundane, boring, silly, unoriginal, trite and flat-out terrible. (Also, I'm not un-American or anti-American in the least. Frustrated at times - of course, but patriotic nonetheless). Like I said, I don't deny it. I'm not claiming to be another Ginsberg.

Anyway, this very dumb elephant will persevere in his attempts at subtlety (although I am not sure deepness will ever be achieved, by reason of distaste for such a thing).

Thank you for the criticism and feel free to continue posting here as you like.
