Poetry and the Masses

[cheyrn]

I understand and agree with the extremes. I'm not sure how it applies to a question of what people should or somehow would do. If someone thinks that they can articulate what they are thinking, as an absolute, it is a form of insanity. Communication is essentially people playing charades. So, how articulate does someone need to be regarding some thought in order for it to be inarticulate or articulate? At what point does it sacrifice something poetic to attempt to be clearer with the expectation that it will be easier for people to understand? At what point is it premature to express yourself about anything, given that that you might be able to be more articulate?

So, I think people should be made to work at a job opening clamshell packaging, for presenting poetry that they don't feel is finished.
