A deluded fool who regards himself as the protector of poetry in a
newsgroup he has turned into a shitting ground himself with nothing but
flame and scarcely any poetry or any useful critiques at all. Now you

The word "you", as it reads for me, at the end of the line strongly
emphasizes the same word "you". The word "Now" preceding a space as
opposed to a comma causes the word "Now" (in spite of the fact that
the "N" is uppercase) to be de-emphasized; hence, "Now you" with the
stronger stress being placed on the word "you" reduces the word "Now"
to mere (irony noted) filler.

Previous to the letter "N" in the word "Now" is a space and before the
space is a period. It can be argued that the pause initiated by the
period can cause the word "Now" to be emphasized, except the strength
of the argument could be reduced by the idea of how the word "you" is
situated at the end of the line thereby (usage? punctuation?) placing
a(n) heavy enough emphasis on the word "you" to all-but weaken the
power (assuming, of course, there could ever be any power) of the word
"Now".

The critic would question whether the poet indeed considered the use
of the word "Now" in this manner? If so, further analysis is
indicated, or inferred, in order to attempt understanding of how the
word "Now" written as such reduces the present to simply a whisper of
the past.

Moving further backward, prior to the period which is prior to the
space which comes previous to the word "Now", the poet strings a group
of words missing a subject.

Considering the context of the piece, that being it is a response and
the words are a response (response implying, perhaps, the identity
issue of philosophy of mind or a question of intelligence vs. machine)
to a previous post, the final two words of said post being: Sleep is.

The three words appearing before "Sleep is" are "Mosquitoes aren't
important." These words help complete the idea "Sleep is." Sleep is
what? Sleep is important.

Continuing that thought, Sleep is (important), and disregarding the
period concluding it, would be the response statement begining with,
"A deluded fool regards himself as the protector of poetry ..." and so
on. The statement involves no commas except that it does note how
sleep regards itself the protector of poetry. As a poetic form, this
method (as reflected in the first incomplete thought) is a display of
more "tell" than of "show" in terms of how it directly accuses sleep
of being "a deluded fool" rather than using further imagery and
metaphor that would have stood equally footed to the former's
"mosquito".

The telling method is useful because it leaves the reader open to
regard dreams (which were neither told about nor shown yet suggested
by the words "deluded fool"). It a reader were so inclined, sleep
being the operative, she would venture a dream be nothing or something
of, or be inspired to brush up on her dual, philosophy of mind.

Nonetheless, this critic is no philosopher regardless of her agreeing
with the idea that sleep is a protector of poetry whether or not sleep
is a deluded fool (in dreamsville).

As far as it being a protector of poetry in this newsgroup it would
have to depend on the audience, which, of course, brings context to
mind.

This would have to introduce the implied messy notion of frame of mind
and frame of reference which can become involved if one were to
elaborate on what has already been written about philosophy of mind.

One would rather move on ...


tell me who is "shrill" and who fancies himself as important. In fact,
you are nothing but arrogant and cretinous. Dale nailed it on the head
the first time, Diller. You seem to value his opinion well, so why don't
you go and apply all of those points and get over yourself?


Remembering the two words before the first of the four lines above,
"Now you" emphasizing the word "you", the idea repeats in the four
lines above (accepting the premise that lines do remember). These
letters are expected to be received as can be implied by the notion
they were written to be read. There is a very solid past/future
context involved in the anticipation of a reader's "Now" being that of
the immeasurable yet precise moment of his or her reading the text.

The overall tone of the response is loud with the exception of the
whispered "Now" which brings into view how strong the whisper of the
present can exist within the context of the loud tone of the past as
written (or remembered) and the loud anticipation of the future hoped
for in the implied expectation of the response being received in some
form of a "Now" (which has to be a whisper in that it is greatly an
unknown in that "Now" has both not happened and has happened and can
not quite be perceived as happening, arguably, certainly).

Perhaps physicists might explore restructuring the "Big Bang" as
simply a "Shrill"? Albeit, this alters context and tempts idea to ride
a tangent on some parallel universe of discourse. Theory must begin
somewhere; it might as well be the whisper of "Now".

Hush.

Sleep.

Dream.

And awake with crusty eyes and cotton mouth.
