Only 17 Hours Left to Vote

Now’s the hour! Vote on what comes after Post-Modernism, and if we’re lucky, it will be ipodism.
Also, a note on that, I meant it to be more insidious than it sounds, so the acronym for ipod is:
“Intentional Promulgation Of the Demonic”

~Lord Bloch

Opening remarks: a credo, i’ll claim it if you like it

Mark Helprin said that complex men exact their magnanimity by the simplest means. I only have simple means, and maybe they will grow into bug-luscious blossoms of enchanting magnanimity. Here is a wonderful poem by the great Christian poet Tyler Blanski:

Kiss a girl;
Spin the world;
Watch squirrels. 

One of My Favorites

since feeling is first

who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. don’t cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says
we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph
and death i think is no parenthesis
–E.E. Cummings
