The only treasure under that X is a fucked up base jumper who they STILL have yet to retrieve from the mountain side..

first weekend up there this year I woke up to popping chutes seemingly directly over my head.
one jumped off the back off the first peak? seems dumb. proven I guess.

I entered the following text:

I could not, would not, in a house.
I would not, could not, with a mouse.
I would not eat them with a fox.
I would not eat them in a box.
I would not eat them here or there.
I would not eat them anywhere.
I would not eat green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

and the conclusion was.........
I write like
Ernest Hemingway

A capacity for the recognition of persons beyond their appearances and outside of the promise of reciprocation would be so important for a Hellenic civilization that included refugees, iterant wanderers, and pirates at its core, and that would be without a legal code beyond treaties, lacking a civilizational sovereign that could claim to be the true representative, a hegemon, for that entire civilization. In the absence of such an overarching political structure, what made the Greeks cohesive as a civilization was rather an apparent willingness to take on the fate that arrived with unexpected strangers at the door, an acknowledgement of the precariousness of the human condition, and its embrace, expressed in a giving respect for the needs of others.

I write like: James JOyce.

cool

[Lox]

At least it's more like Ulysses Joyce and not Finnegans' Wake Joyce.

Beatie is HG Wells.

Does your prose suck? You're David Foster Wallace!

Guessing you've not read much of his stuff.
Either that or you think Amis and Nabokov and Borges also suck (in which case you just have no taste).

Guessed right, I just assume that I, and anyone associated with me, however vaguely, suck.

I wrote a poem for some angry old gash ..


you ape what you cannot be
mimicking suicide, you imitate life.
your angst? A quiet confusion ..
watching others grow to be the followers through
of everything you put off
until tomorrows crashed into twisted stomachs
and pillowy thoughts were snared
on the years that scattered like shadows
with the flicker of your candle.


conclusion? I write like Margaret Atwood.

I've never read Margaret Atwood. Does that mean I suck? At least I didn't get David Foster Wallace. Make fun of my poem Porch and I will KILLL YOU.

That's more adolescent Jim Carroll than Margaret Atwood; just sayin.

I write like a semi-well-educated, snarky member of the bourgeoisie who fetishes the working class, aka Anthony
Bourdain.
