Poetry and the Masses

[abu nuwas]

Getting back to the masses, I bought a Philip Hegley book to-day, where he links one little poem to another with tales of spectacles, and dogs-- mostly his spectacles, and his dog. If the masses had not fallen away from religion, they might appreciate:

My dog my dog why hast thou forsaken me?

I think a kind of modified masses would be the first target, then the whole shoot.
