TYKO SAY
[ text ]
all poetry is propaganda // world views are cultural // existence requires non-existence in its opposition // the effect of his actions were theatrical // the intention practical // qualifying language is abusive to discussion // the intention of her actions were measured by effect // poetry is prospectus // they promote their propaganda as ethical--a good-use of language // practical // effective.
