A serious question: Why is this not a poem?
| << Previous | Next >> |
It's performance art. Maybe. Is a toilet bowl that's exhibited in a museum a piece of art? Because it's been disassociated from its function, does it become a statement on how we live our lives? I don't think this is a poem because there's no resonance, no metaphor, the cow has not transcended its "cowness". It has to be a non-cow by the end of the poem.
