Default Surrealism mounts up and rides again

You who remember the fierce discussion about Alien vs. Predator by Michael Robbins, (depending on what side you were on) might like to take a look at ditch, a Canadian site for avant-garde and surrealist poety.

Depending on what side you were on, the others shouldn't bother.

Janice, my first thought is "How do you DO that??" I bow to your ability to break free from the plain old world of the real, here and especially in the Umbrella skin poem.

(I gotta say, I can make meanings with these, while with the "Alien" thing I was floundering helplessly.)

Default Flapper Redivivus.

I was absolutely right: a...... flapper !

Golly.

I want everyone to use this wonderful word, especially my fine flapper friends
in the Flapposphere.

I just want to say that getting a stamp of approval from writers who really, really know how to do it themselves, well, those words are appreciated more than you can imagine. Thanks, pals.
