His constant cycle of first stating
then negating serves to show
the subjectivity of our perception.
Of course, this too is false.

The constant referents to body
parts are purely a comedic
trope.  He means to nullify
the normal marriage of the reader
to the work.

The themes of language as realitym
of loss, of pop cultural epiphany
are all a form of plagiarism, borrowed
from the dead and dying.

He is the transparent geologist
chiseling brick from his own grave.
His spelling and his penmanship,
however, are impeccable.

-Neal Miller, 1994
