I broke my hollow world
And petulant tears dripped down its curved surface;
Tidal waves that didn’t distinguish between
Fake true blue waters
And verdant lands (and the vermillion deserts where plastic vegetation cannot grow).
It had fallen out of its orbit-stand in my bedroom
Solar system shattered, and it fell out of

At what point did postmodernism go too far?
It will never go too far.
The ancients were much bigger degenerates
At least the boy isn't a forced eunuch harem servant

pretty much this. It can't go too far.
Is he misinterpreted?
For you
I don't know but man that's one fucking amazing mustache

if you don't make 52 books a year you're pretty much a non-reader
Am I likely to be banned (permanently) from /lit/ should I begin pasting my entire six-part debut memoir here, which at this point totals over 600,000 words?
I have reached a point in the process of submitting my work whereby I am convinced that the hierarchy of the contemporary publishing world has conspired against me, even if they themselves are unaware of having done so, in refusing to acknowledge the profundity and purity of articulation in my work.
