- "no for reals, the short stories are done as an homage of the Classic World of Darkness, which is now technically defunct... a roleplay game that allows for story telling and character creation. i thought it would be a good thing to simulate... a roleplay experience within a contained story, what in the CWod is called a "chronicle" , i.e. a continuing play. lol, that and the poems are littered with them. but we all appropriate, the term extends to hinting at real occurrences in history. its how we build new knowledge, outa old.

- "you lot are too nice lol, thank you all. this poem is part of the secrets of life and death cycle; mu-mon zen is the second... still working on the third... something like Ark of Failures, or Aeterna Città Dolente... not sure yet"

- "nice ending with fell, the typographic structure looking like steps... i also liked the idea of being between conjunctions, those that combine meaningful clauses in complex sentences may stand for the active transition required to move from one state to the next (or new) thing"

- "couldnt have said it better myself. simply live. the original mu-mon wrote a book of riddles, supposedly solving these led to enlightenment. not really much of anything really, like the bible, but more frivolous... talking foxes and word puzzles with dogs lol"

- "runes, symbols, things of flesh... meaning is everywhere. it felt epic in scale, love and being seem to drown out puny things such as having to nourish, or a shotgun wedding lol. the language is exquisitely used by the way, the metaphors are a metapestry"

- "I appropriated a bit, since Milton is that guy lol. He that spoke a house out of blindness. I, however, can only fear for it... not knowing how it really is. so much like so much else neh... but thank ya kindly miss. if i may speed your decoding with my fallacy; part one (verse 2) is of the your eyes in love/lust (the big metaphor being dilating pupae, with a hint of arousal in "opening".) part 3; the translation of outside to in. part 4; final aggrandising, cause as an ode it must by nature praise an object or concept (even if person, still a conception of that person). but again, my fallacy lol. Please see yourself what you see, im only askin to tell me."

- "this whole thing made me smile... kinda imagined it set to grunge. reminds me of a song we did back in my high school days... Yearbook. "Every now and then I stay up late, looking at your picture while i masturbate". kudo's dude for finding the funny in function, and perhaps heightening the connection with the poem's intense structuring... which btw doesnt with its strict rhythm make it tedious, the subject matter alleviating such tension. Oh and i defy anyone who wasnt, after reading this, randomly bursting out in melody: "I just wanna muff dive baby, YEAHHHH!" dum damdum dum dum damdum, YEAH!!! "
