< this is literature for chrissake >

[rayheinrich]

so wipe that smile off your face
and get serious

literature is life
and life is serious
and i'm serious

and you must be serious
since you've emailed me three times about my damned poem

i'm hoping this reply will get you off my back

so you asked me:
"what's the dwarf mean?"

jeeeesus, i'm not a mind reader,
i have no idea what that dwarf means to you!

but i can at least tell you
what some of the other elements of the poem mean to me:

bunny-rabbit is jesus
big-bear is truth
randy-the-sex-starved-goat is just there to attract readers such as yourself
and fred-the-farmer stands for the selfishness
that keeps most of us from leaving
the cycle of rebirth at moo-cow's farm

and winky-the-dwarf?

he's all yours
