Bo is trash or liking Bo makes you trash?
You're not explaining it well...
And besides "We Think We Know You" could easily be turned into a philosophical work.

I am sick of limited lyricism
Of well-behaved lyricism
Of public-servant lyricism
With its time-clock card
And its clearkly protocol
And its ass-kissing flattery of the boss.
I am sick of halting lyricism
That has to look up in the dictionary
The vernacular meaning of a word.
Down with the purists!
I want all the words
Chiefly the universal barbarisms
I want all the constructions
Chefly the syntactical ones of exception
I want all the rhythms
Chefly the unnumbered.
I am sick of flirting lyricism
Of political lyricism
Of rickety lyricism
Of syphilitic lyricism
Of all lyricism which surrenders
To anything which is not its true self.
After all, that is not lyricism
That is only bookkeeping
A table of co-sines
A handbook for the perfect lover
With a hundred models of letters
And the different ways to please the ladies.
I prefer the lyricism of madmen
The lyricism of drunkards
The difficult and poignant lyricism of drunkards
The lyricism of Shakespeare´s fools.
I will have nothing more to do
With a lyricism which is not freedom.
