“Not for all the fire in hell Not for all the blue in the sky Not for an empire of my own Not even for peace of mind”

“Poetry will never win the war on terror But neither will error abetted by error {{pbr}} We girly men are not afraid Of uncertainty or reason or interdependence We think before we fight, then think some more Proclaim our faith in listening, in art, in compromise {{pbr}} So be a girly man & sing this gurly song Sissies & proud That we would never lie our way to war”

“As part of the spring ritual of National Poetry Month, poets are symbolically dragged into the public square in order to be humiliated with the claim that their product has not achieved sufficient market penetration and must be revived by the Artificial Resuscitation Foundation (ARF) lest the art form collapse from its own incompetence, irrelevance, and as a result of the general disinterest among the broad masses of the American People. The motto of ARF's National Poetry Month is: "Poetry's not so bad, really."”
