The latest ads I've seen have to do with sermons & Christianity. Which, more or less, reflect the themes I've been exploring in the last couple of posts. I wonder if I can subvert the power?

Milton. Whitman. Dante. William Blake & T.S. Eliot. Smokin' up in Kendell, down by the lakeside (Van Morrison). The healing of the popular song. Smatterings of star time, intimations of crow time. Looking for love in the right places. Misplaced spectacles. Harvey. Iraq. Iran. Afganistan.

Well, that's an experiment that exhausts its charm pretty quickly. Next, we free-associate while wearing an Allen Ginsberg mask with a dollop of Whitman.
