I am tempted to say that this is your finest piece to date. But I won't. :)

haha ray :) make em laugh is still the way

fundamentalist neo minimalism, my arse.
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time

fundamentalist neo minimalism stole my children it wiped their minds and replaced them with full stops.

all power to the absent

bring back ste black with his very selectively placed type.

There are some things you want to blank out!
:-)

Well, that's more like it, Laura. I'm immediately drawn to the creative use of white space and the sure-footedness of the poem. There's a sense in some works that the writer has no overall aim and rather stumbles from one step to the next. Here, the intention is obvious from the start and one isn't disappointed.

Okay then Ray - seriously now...don't you think your complete absence of punctuation misleads the reader into some kind of abstract space of thought where nonsense lies? Also, I think this kind of fundamentalist neo-minimalism is how wars are started, so I'd be careful if I were you.

heh.heh.heh..

Rach you crease me sometimes lady lol x

i thought i'd try and ease myself into the minimalist niche that steve black has vacated for the moment and i'm just getting laughed at.there's a serious dearth of in-depth criticism on wol.

hahaa !!

Hahaa!!!
