do you really not understand
or is it a rhetorical device to attack modern art?

his response was pretty obvious to me
and
in fact
his very first song
(i sit on acid by lords of acid)
is actually song 95 on my current yearly compilation
(in the spring section - rebirth and all that)
for what i bet are very similar reasons

i suspect it all has to do with the most common word in my poem:
shame

body shame

..

so i go to india for a long business trip
and after this excruciating flight over
i get to the guest house
get all my bags settled
collapse in bed
turn on the television
and the very first commercial i see is for nivea skin whitening cream

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
_nivea_skin_whitening_cream_
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so all the little indigenies can get that pretty white skin
that all the brahmin kids inherit
from that ancient aryan migration

there is a song "gravity"
by an experimental punk band called the "fire ants"
which has the lyrics:

" plastic surgery
when not reconstructive from an injury
is ethnic cleansing in high society "

shame!

female vulgarity tooly?

the body is _natural_
it is there
it exists

many years ago
it was quite natural for women to be topless
in those places where shirts were not seasonally required

babies drink off of them things

shame?

now
christian and moslem values have driven women to hide
ashamed at their birth

power?

the burqa is a prison
shame is a prison

the points of control are obvious and measurable
and one model metric that accounts this
is money

the largest cosmetic growth sector
in both india and china
is skin whitening

hundreds of billions of dollars are involved

skin whitening could pay for the war in iraq!

that is sickness
tooly

that is vulgarity

not old school lords of acid dancing around on stage
