You the reader were able to do all three. Firstly, you did understand it (at least to a degree maybe). Secondly, you were able to research it as you contacted me the author and have now acquired source info. Thirdly, you did dance with this poem as was my intention (while you tried to figure out what you already understood).
Ans: I intend everything which is hidden, as well as blatant, in my poetry and writings.
Ans: That is best left to the individual.
Ans: However much one thinks they have free thought, free thought has a limit, thus forcing us to belong. There are many examples of this throughout history (see world history).
Ans: If everyone attains true thought, unhinged and unadulterated, then there is no power. As for power one cannot be equal. Those that believe themselves free thinking up to our time almost always stick themselves in boxes and belong to groups (see world history)
Ans: When one doesn't know how a trick works then it must seem like magic, like our forms of travel three thousand years ago. We don't give it a second thought, but to those then, like the true power of free thought it must have seemed unattainable and scary.
PS. All the names used are real activists of free thought in their own right. Only one is personally know to me. Glad you enjoyed the poem. Hope my response has helped.

come to poetry and beer with me next wednesday. it will mean flying to CT, but, what the hell, it will be worth it, right? hatter's hare and rusty, and maybe knickytoy are going too.
You can do better. It builds well but you can write better then this. It wouldn't take much to make this a good strong poem. Just take a look, I mean some of the errors are blantant. No one talks the way you're character talks, and in poetry it suppose to be idealized. Which this is not. Pretend you're character is smarter than you, more sophisticated. What the fuck, I'm wasting my time even trying to get through o you morons. Ciao.
Picasso was an egocentic pig who beat and abused his women on a continuous basis. Lover, schmover.
All I'm saying, is that art and poetry do not belong together. FUrthermore, Picasso's genius is far greater than anything I have seen written. You know why its so hard to write poetry? Because things speak for themselves, life speaks for itself. What Picasso did was reveal and expose hidden layers that nobody else could have seen. Your "Boxer" poem sucked, because it didn't tell me anything NEW.
So many, create and arrange thier poems, it's what they think...not feel. I love that you write your life, your existence.
how YOU portray the world...not how you are expected to. Poetry is not just about guidelines, too often feeling is lost in the pursuit of perfection. I also believe that your job is often overlooked as the noble position that it is. This is your reality, you demand respect....you have mine.
you have quite an original writing style. I always enjoy the read. sad and lonely, especially like the last few lines.
Depressing, California left a bad taste in my mouth. Everyone told me I went to the wrong parts. I think I just saw through it quicker than they did. I like the way you wrote this poem. I just wish it were about something else. Perhaps that is near to the inteded effect. (8)
sweet. in a bitter sort of way.

Sometimes I wish I led such a poetic life. I'm jealous, frankly.

my recent attempt at being funny was more humorouse than this, and less retarded. it still sucked, but this makes it look good.
0. Does picasso approve?
whats this? rambling? funny. lets ask picasso.
you are a fucking moron.. have you ever seen a picasso painting idiot??? eh? notice how the faces are uneven, all fucked up, out of place? hrmmm? AYE? picasso has nothing to do with this you idiot, its one of my unique ways of describing something you twit.. and you give me a low score because you THINK picasso was a lover, and not a fighter?
HOW do you know that btw? do you know picasso personally aye?

Don't bring Picasso into this...he's a lover, not a fighter!
I think the viewing audience SHOULD KNOW that you are pretending to be Wesley Willis
