diogenes

I am basking in the warmth of this fun and humorous poem. Thanks.

WomanPariah said it all 'this little gem is fucking EPIC, man.'

Having looked further into the Diogenes history, I'm impressed by the way you've managed to unbury hidden, less savory elements of the myth — wanting to live with the freedom of a dog, he would urinate, defecate, and masturbate in public.

... characterized by extreme self-neglect. And, Elmer, i don't know if i'm supposed use this info as part of interpreting this piece, but i'm guessing that i am. I think there were a number of historic "Diogenes" men, and so i'm thinking "which one is he talking about, if any?" So i expect i'll spend at least an hour doing some googling over that one. Nice going, Elmer, like i had nothing else to do. SERIOUSLY, you are utterly amazing. I don't know ... this little gem is fucking EPIC, man. And i really don't know how to critique it: it makes me laugh, it makes me feel like i can ALMOST wrap my head around it, but i fail. And yet, i think i get it. "Clever as a sandwich" ... sweet. Remarkable. How useless am i? Just how utterly useless am i? Wow. I began a clever little poem of mine with the line "O, but if i had the courage of Prufrock..." yeah there's more to it. I thought that was pretty good irony, and kind of subtle (but clearly a little pretentious, but hey, i wrote in university while studying you know who, whaddya want?), but it can't touch this. And i still haven't finished that piece either. So, "critiques" be damned,this is just MAMMOTH. O, did i say, thanks for the read.
