Say "Hi" in this Thread

Hey rayheinrich and billy,

Being adulated sounds fun, as long as I get to pretend I don't deserve it hehe

It's nice to meet you both!


Hey there Leanne,

I'm glad this forum offers thoughtful critique and it wouldn't be fair to offer anything less.

P.S. Wow, I like this poem. It really flows.

At PigPen, we are nothing if not all-encompassing.  Our breadth subsumes nothing less than the
ecumenically universalist pre, mid, and post menstrual aspects inherent in us all.

Let the adulation flow!

P.S. T.S. Eliot (may God have mercy on his soul for his hyper-religious swerve towards the end)
possessed one of my favorite ragingly complex megalodonic male egos. He thought western
civilization's and his contemporaneous crumblings were not unrelated.

(And all this without foreknowledge of Paris Hilton.)

I must admit, you (more than likely) understand The Wasteland much greater than I. 

I love the last half of the poem and it's melodic changes. There are also quite a bit of religious reference at the beginning of the poem (second stanza--the red rock part referring to Matthew verses, and obviously son of man being Jesus), and perhaps there a lot more religious references I haven't caught throughout the middle. I guess it does become hyper-religious towards the end though!

Maybe as I get older and reread the poem I will continue to have a greater understanding for it
