Is "blowing raspbrries" during sex a suitable topic?

I mean, I've probably published worse...
Be kind. This is a first effort.
The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the stealth bombers that day.
The packing stood tight with but one wank left to play.
And when the colonic calliope died at first, and bottom burps did the same,
A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
A few blown raspberries tried to go in deep despair of unrequited gas..
They lost the mutual hope which springs eternal in the human ass.
If only the frequency actuated rectal terror could get a whiff of what was pinned,
We’d fart together beautifully to the tune of blowin’ in the wind.
But flat preceded ulence, and so did Jumpin’ Beans,
The former was a liar, while the latter was unseen.
So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat,
For there seemed but little chance of fart-ass getting to the bat.
But with a long push to the tush
A miracle emerged from the moosh.
Wit braaap baaap frooop blam boom.
Relief and aroma filled the room.

Yeah, um. I kinda know cause I saw some of it. I was just curious cause some subjects are taboo; and nobody tells ya until you open your big mouth.
Pretty good stuff, huh? I mean I know it's a bit complicated and long for your usual issue. But i figured you might give it a couple of pages, and I could add a bio, where I got the idea, how I gauge my audience, my infuences and all of that.

Those bastards make you fill out a whole lot of shit about "credentials" in the format the particular "editor" wants.
Not that I don't have any, mind you. But, I'm an "artiste" and can't waste my time with such errata. ................ Maybe you could do it for me?

Jesus! I guess I'm not up to date with the current state of the publishing industry. In the good old days the writer wrote a book-poem. Then the publisher gave him a lot of money for it; and proceeded to lose money on it 90% of the time; but was content to have mingled with the artist.
Hmnnn. Okay on the sex part. I know this 60 year old woman here who's available. She's not overly fond of guys but makes exceptions. She takes steroids, works construction, and beat me up once when I said she was ugly. I have little doubt that she is absolutely wild; but can't say for sure. ..................... She doesn't wash all that much either.
Five star a half read book. No problemo. I want to be part of the bizarro fringe community very much; especially now that Eraserhead is dead. However, ImpWiz is scheduled for imminent deletion (a suicide if one considers GR a life), and don't know the half read-liked book to which you refer; the latter aspect particularly puzzling.

Alternative brief. So, go have some. Five star reviews are a dime a dozen; so I guess I undrestand the either/or scenario.
Beyond the brief; since you're obviously more sensitive than you'd have your fans know, I will once again submit my opinion that "Editorial" and 90% of "The Rooster Republic Years" are fivers, and were joyously read in entirety. Joyously is not exactly the right word, but I can't get a thesaurus on GR. It was only later that you went straight to the toilet.
Do you have to go through all this shit to get a lousy poem published in a low circulation, substantially on-line zine?
Kids, if you're there; consider the harsh realities of writing and take that programming job.

AND NOW FOR THE THIRD SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
When I started to criticize Millennials it was it was out of limited personal experience and ignorance of how trite those statements were. I have found out today that nobody likes them.
So, in an effort to be avant garde, yeztruly proposes a quiz which might attract other hip people.
1) Does anyone know a Millennial they actually like? Mothers, fathers, and siblings don't count because we know you'll lie about that.
2) Why?
3) Has this person ever demonstrated an ability to understand a point of view not their own?
4) How much time per week do you spend in the proximity of this person? Please use an electronic timing device for this, as if you estimate anecdotally, you'll likely be on the very high side.
5) How many times per hour are you required to tell this person that whatever stupid bullshit they're doing is wonderful?

ShantyI wrote: "When I started to criticize Millennials it was it was out of limited personal experience and ignorance of how trite those statements were.

Whether it's just the confluence of culture and technology that makes the younger people of today more susceptible to things like entitlement and narcissism, to me this is irrelevant when we can easily recognize these same attributes in people of all generations, and furthermore I'm often astounded by how individuals of one generation or another play against type. Given that there is a segment of Millennials who are self-aware and actively resist the pitfalls of our age, I try not to get down on them too much, and if I do it's mostly just in jest.
Well, there could be self interest there as you're a marginal M. The definitions vary, but one said "anyone born between 1980 and 2000."
Just as in sports, comparisons between different eras are quite debatable; yet people constantly do that. I personally think that it's absurd to compare Ty Cobb to Barry Bonds; each was probably the best of very different times.
For whatever reason, it seems to me that the M's have a real knack for pissing people off, and are thus far the leaders in that category. They seem to think that they alone discovered LGBTQ and whatever letters they soon add. They also act as if the "Civil Rights Act" was passed under their term in office. And despite all the time they spend on the computer, IT jobs are better done by Chinese, Japanese, and Indians. Bunch of pretentious, useless dumb asses.
Of course it's not all of them; just 95%.
And yeah, I'm joking ............................. to an extent. And sure, they're self aware; and not aware of much else. There are ties with the self-perfecting New Agers, but that doesn't seem to be something to aspire to.
And having said that the only two I knew fairly well don't fit the "Time" based definition at all. These two were just pissed at the world and kept considering doing a Mickey and Mallory.

I don't even own a smartphone, for shit's sake... Besides, my daughter turns twenty-one next month, and it would seem awfully odd to find myself in the same generation as her.
Can't I just say I belong to Generation F'd, or does that make me sound too much like a whiney, entitled-ass Millennial?

Yes, that's a subset. And yes, you can say it.
Smartphone? See, your reference frame. I didn't even have a cell phone till a few weeks ago, and still don't know how to use it. It has a mind of its own. All I know is that if I keep pushing the buttons, it won't shut off, and will eventually allow me to make a call.

Here. In 1958 they already knew everything. If any M's click on this, try to bear with the talking, as they will soon get to the song; and the whole thing is just over four minutes.

Oh, I might get it. It's that taste I've yet to acquire for "Leyner jokes." Please forgive me; I haven't been a literary maven very long.
Another derivative steal from DFW; this time Joelle Van Dyne; who is not necessarily a lesbian.
A hearty har har.

That's just so Millennial. But, doesn't a lot of whiskey drinking make jerking off Mission Impossible?
In addition, that's not a nice thing to say about your progenitors. The M's can go to hell as far as I'm concerned too. And the shit started with the punks who weren't even sufficiently interesting to ward off disco and rap. Fact.
So, where does this leave you? In a special bunker with romantic-unromantic overtures?
So where does this leave me? Hard to say, as I didn't think much about it until I tried to fit in with those of the writerly ilk. Up until then I just knew that the less I thought about myself the better I felt. And to borrow an old slogan; "What's so bad about feeling good?"
Just got one piece of news for ya. Your generation is f'd on its lucky day.

Time has marched on and no one has indicated any Millennial who they like. My only surprise is that no idiot from this generation wrote in answering "Me!" while attaching a selfie.
In light of that, I have a follow up question. If you were guaranteed to get away with it; would you push a button which would immediately vaporize every Millennial, especially considering that they are already vapid?

All right; have it your way at Burger Thing. The Times has always been the reporting agency with the most status and I believe, the most credibility. Their viewed as "liberal" position is the result of the long, long repetitions of that spoken by people who are not even able to read and comprehend the factual detail presented.
The Times will remain long after the stupid Millennials have been lunch for worms and maggots.
Okay? Okay? Now will someone from the Times favorably review my fucking book and stick it on the front page of the Sunday book section? Agency rights and fees are still undetermined.
You might also want to take a look at some of AG's poetry. He's over the phase of writing "Dick, dick, dick, dick, dick." Fuck man; cummings never even got that far.

Hey fans, how about another poll? We got 1 response last time, which represents an infinite level of increase over the previous two. So, while we're on a roll, which of the following best represents your attitude toward the NYTimes?
1) It's Ok, but the artcles are so goddam long and full of detail, that I just read the headlines.
2) Pretentious tool of the ruling classes should be burned when the revolution comes.
3) It's a conspiracy. If you try to read the whole thing, you won't have time for anything else including food and sleep and you will die.
4) I like to carry it under my arm open to the crossword puzzle. I fill out most of it without reading the clues, and it makes people think I am smart.
5) Ever since their polls said Hillary had a 100% chance of winning until about 7PM election eve, I wonder if anybody over there knows what the hell they're doing.
6) I love it because I learn almost as much about books as I do on Goodreads.
7) I'm waiting until they do more coverage in Bismarck.
8) It's superior to my local paper when my dog needs a good whack in the ass.

DEAD THREAD in this part of the multiverse. A "new and unique" blow job "poem' is again called for in some unpaying part of the sissy gendered web.

Unspecified POV's warrant a long ass answer from each, and I don't feel like it. So, with the "advantage" of having read the "poem" in question, I can safely say; "Depends on how one defines poetry and is one yet familiar with the illustrated Crepax takes on DeSade and Masoch?" Rhetorical, as I don't want to hear any more Millennial or near bullshit.
You just gotta get off this "socially" induced, misanthropic reader-writer, GR faux gravity. If you don't; I don't care. You just lose before the big betting takes place. What fucking ever.

Leave it to the esteemed Mr. Graham to answer what was meant to be unanswerable.
Yet with that level of ability he extolls Hudson County hip wannabe Leyner and half assed markets on middle brow dipshit GR. ................. At least that's consistent.
Without getting too flowery, the phrase used is also calculated to gather "credibility" through being vague and alluding to sex. An old formula which works every time, increasingly for theoretical Millennials.
Anyway, shit don't fool me, but has a good chance at winning the election I didn't campaign for.

Hey, I got a poem for you rapscallions to ponder. Here goes:Rose are red,
FUCK YOU, DUUUUDE!!
I will confess I haven't read any DFW. Well, that's not entirely true. I got through about half of "Consider the Lobster" a while back. But reading that essay made me very hungry. In fact, I was forced to stop reading and drive forthwith to the the nearest Red Lobster to do some serious considering that involved lots of melted butter.
If ol' Hecta X catches wind you've never been able to finish a DFW book, you'll never hear the end of it.

You know damn well that DFW owns the word "Depend." So, it's not even derivative. It's a bold faced copy.
Excepting me, everything post-DFW is inferior. Derivative would be too much of an obligatory complement.
Douglas is typically too far out there to understand; defying any possible direct response. But if "Consider the Lobster" prompted "serious considering" be aware that is DFW-lite. Stay off "Infinite Jest" as it might induce an aneurism.
And why the hell would anyone want to be derivative of Leyner, unless they want privacy in the food court?
