No Stranger

Prose is a habit of mind. Poetry is breaking the habit... Poetry is more valuable than prose?

Not if the habit is home.

To quote one of my favorite lines from "Seinfeld", "I like to encourage intruders" :) Yeah, a blog is somewhere intermediate between a private and a public space. I'm a hypocrite really, I appreciate the effort people take to make their ideas clear but am unwilling to do the same except in response to someone else...

Plus, there's something to be said for a private language. Too much language out in the world, fulfilling secondary purposes such as propaganda or rhetoric or even plain communication.

If that does not entail being anything at all, then yes, I am that.
