Workers unite!

So wacked out some spaz based on the word agitprop and me following what it means.

Read some more of Seidel, finished the Earth section of the book, which is by and large based more on earth than off it. It is also more brutal: rape, stalking, overt chauvinism. And right at the end the really interesting poem Frederick Seidel which seems to be him answering all the people who call him anti-semitic, chauvinist, racist, red-neck whatever or is it?

I live a life of laziness and luxury,

Like a hare without a bone who sleeps in a pate.

I met a fellow who was so depressed

He never got dressed and never got undressed.

He lived a life of laziness and luxury.

He hid life away in poetry,

Like a hare running still running from a gun in pate.

He didn't talk much about himself because there wasn't much to say.

[...]

There are other examples but

A perfect example in his poetry is the what

Will save you factor.

The Jaws of Life cut the life crushed in the compactor

Out.

My life is a snout

Snuffling toward the truffle, life. Anyway!

It is a life of luxury. Don't put me out of my misery.

I am seeking more Jerusalem, not less.

And in the outtakes, after they pull my fingernails out, I confess:

I do love

The sky above.

So this one is interesting, the stuff in the middle kind of digresses into a scene with a naked woman and how the 'poet' can't but has to look.
