a profusion of confusion

do you like poetry? if so, then you should seriously consider picking up edgar allan poe and/or e.e.cummings. if poe had been born around the late '60s, he definitely would have been a punk/pop rock musician when he reached his mid 20s. either that or an angster rapper. if you dont like poetry, then you should read some of these poems here. they are by various anonymous poets™. kinda like that anonymous hair ive been oh-so-tempted to try. the following poems are the better ones our editors could scrounge up. there were many more to choose from but due to pear-annoy-a (one of the nation-states in the great nation of aliens) and content (the graphic and extreme violence and gratuitous self-exposure type (not the peaceful (i cant believe youve been on this site this long and it was possible for that word to creep into your filthy mind) type), those selections, on this program, have been canceled. some of these contain self-exposure so consider your self forewarned.



confusion: a profusion*

nation of aliens--their society
eternity
no one knows
hypocritical king

nation of aliens--their impropriety
nylon--if only you knew
untitled 15
everything you want to ask, but are afraid to know

nation of aliens--their variety
error 6669: this sector non-existent

elation for poe--fair sobriety
a dream within a dream
annabel lee
the bells
the raven

and for those in our live-in studio audience that speak spanish...

el horror del amor by sara tonen
el amor puede ser una gran cosa pero depende de los participantes. el amor es generalmente una cosa horripilante que da miedo. no importa que tipo de amor sea, es horripilante. el horror por otra parte es muy amoroso. te quiere lo suficiente para darte todo. algunos se enamoran del horror. quizás se llaman excéntricos, yo los llamo románticos. uno romántico que se llamaba edgar allan poe. e.a.p. era un escritor excelente de cuentos de horror y poemas amorosos o cuentos y poemas amorosamente horripilantes. estas historias son de lo grotesco y fantasmagórico, y al mismo tiempo son de lo bello y magnífico. e.a.p. exploraba las profundidades misteriosas de la psiquis humana. su poema más famoso es "el cuerve" por él que recibió menos de veinte dólares. Es su más famoso poema pero no es el mejor. mi cuento favorito de él es "la máscara de la muerte roja." pero para hoy, he traducido dos de sus poemas. voy a leer "un sueño dentro de un sueño" y "annabel lee."
