Hi Gregory Hall impersonating Chadlee Bryant from rec.sport.pro-wrestling impersonating the % poster from rec.sport.pro-wrestling using a behind-the-scenes photo taken of me from a television series episode in 2014.

Bored, I take it?
Try killing yourself.
That should alleviate it.

Hi there Rachel...

I would call it a "poetic device"...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetic_devices

*************Poetic devices are a form of literary device used in poetry. Poems are created out of poetic devices composite of: structural, grammatical, rhythmic, metrical, verbal, and visual elements.[1] They are essential tools that a poet uses to create rhythm, enhance a poem's meaning, or intensify a mood or feeling**************

I would call it "evidence of a severely limited vocabulary"... but at least it's a step up from misusing a word that he doesn't understand.

Good Donkey.

Again, I ask you to stop post-editing my statements, General Zod. It is a cowardly, deceitful, and childish thing to do.

As to your (unedited) statement: 1) I don't hate the Donkey. Hate is a strong emotion. I find the Donkey to be nothing more than an mildly enjoyable diversion. 2) I don't devalue the Donkey's work. When he writes something good -- and he has... once... I tell him so. However, when he wastes my time posting garbage -- which is 99% of his "poetry" -- I tell him so as well.

Let's examine Will's latest offense:

> Walkabout Riff Raff

The first half of the title uses an Australian word for a spontaneous adventure. The second half refers to unsavory low-lifes.

For once, the title is accurate -- at least in the context of the dream. The dream is compared to an adventure film ("Mad Max") and it stars two low-lifes ("Donkey" and "DirtNap" Dockery).

Donkey wrote a sentence! Go Donkey!

Oh, well... one out of two ain't bad.

FYI: I've seen the three films in question and found them all to have decidedly different "vibes." They're all sci-fi (more or less) and two are set in post-apocalyptic desert-like worlds, but the "vibe" (the overall feeling) is very different in each: "Mad Max"s vibe is one of violent escapism, "Dune"s vibe is mythic, and "A Clockwork Orange's" is wickedly satiric. But I doubt that the Donkey understands these films as anything other than comic books with moving images and spoken dialogue.

> Traveling home
> looking for a way
> to get back home again
> to see our mother
> again.

This is a run-on sentence fragment. To paraphrase Meatloaf: "One out of three ain't bad."

In terms of narrative, the "poem" is a very short, prose anecdote giving a very superficial recounting of a dream: in fact, the entire plot can be summed up in a single sentence. To wit: I dreamed that Brother Dave and I were in a violent, post-apocalyptic world, and the whole time I just kept trying to get back home to Auntie Em.

Despite its potentially interesting subject (parallel universes/dream consciousness), it's surpassingly bland and ultimately sentimental corn.

Do you deny any part of the observations expressed in my critique?

hardly. he's talking about it feeling like a surreal dream, sorta like mad max is this futuristic apocalyptic realism. i don't know about dune, i think i went, and walked out, but whatever. one man's junk... ;-) (jk, wilbur! :) ) (i know you keep trying, that counts, too! :) )

oh, i just read this, and it's not so important what dockery understands or not, it's what you understand or get from the poem. i guess you missed it. probably healthier, anyway.

It not even really a dream, Krispie Kreme. He's given himself up to a dream-state while walking around.

btw, i've never really seen mad max, either, just a glimpse of it.

and i've only somewhat encountered a clockwork orange, in text.

The version of Dune I know is the 1984 David Lynch version, which starred Sting:

Mad Max I usually think of the Tina Turner scenes:

>> FYI: I've seen the three films in question and found them all to have decidedly different "vibes." They're all sci-fi (more or less) and two are set in post-apocalyptic desert-like worlds, but the "vibe" (the overall feeling) is very different in each: "Mad Max"s vibe is one of violent escapism, "Dune"s vibe is mythic, and "A Clockwork Orange's" is wickedly satiric. But I doubt that the Donkey understands these films as anything other than comic books with moving images and spoken dialogue.

That's what my friend Irene (a PHD psychologist) used to say when I'd tell her my dreams and ask her what she thought they meant:

"They mean what you want them to mean."

Nope, still wrong.
But keep yapping for your master. Maybe he'll give you a biscuit.

Here's a good montage from A Clockwork Orange, and music from David Bowie inspired by that reality/universe:
