Huuklyeand Cinquor on the Postmodern Phenomenon Known as "The 'It' Poem"


Should be 
What it was before 
It was but don’t ask me 
Once I get my hands on it 
What it was like. 


Moderator’s comments: I know Huuk’s not going to believe it but I liked it before I saw it.

  1. Well, in the absence of authorial centers there's only the poem itself, the artifact, "It'. Obvious but trivially true. Don't believe me: read Watten.

    'Tis true!

  3. Hmmm...

    the new-Gnosticism? Interesting how what's old is new again. People (like academics) should shut up and write, if they can. And most of them quite simply can't.
