Lost Weekend in Vegas (readymade)

[milo]

I think I may understand the "juxtaposition" of the title with the poem. The living of life against the mundane, I am not sure obviously, but it does work on that level for me.

I thought the content was good, I was drawn into how other people live a certain section of their lives.

I am into art, and look at these pieces in that way.

For me, reading this I thought the comptroller sounded oddly like a frustrated and emotionally distant father of teenagers. There is some behind the scenes scolding going on here (in my mind) but he never comes out and says "I think you've been using your expense account for booze and hookers)

Yes, I can see him boiling beneath the font. However, any employer holding a conference or training session in Las Vegas in setting themselves up for expense abuse.

I have to try more found poetry myself. I like the Dadaism aspect of it. I have done a few using other folks poetry titles before and scrambled another's poetry to find a new one, but nothing quite like these.

Well, no one literally went to Vegas, our expense accounts are just used regularly through the course of business. I renamed it to create the juxtaposition. It almost seems he is quietly accusing us of running off to Vegas on company funds. Also, I found an irony in the thought that he would be sending this same email if we had run off to Vegas and it would only be a matter of time before we were all fired. Kind of like an understated pent up energy.
