Poetry

'Like poetry in motion' is supposed to be a compliment, but is it really? Imagine chasing after Poe's The Raven, or, God forbid, anything by W.H. Auden!?

And if poetry could move, who says it would look GOOD doing it? Those old epic poems are so large they'd just stagger around and probably knock into things or crush your car when you only had like four payments left. Or a Shakespeare sonnet? With all those thees and e'ers and whatnots they'd stagger around like drunken louts.

And what about OTHER kinds of literature? How come nobody never said that a hurdler at the Olympics moved like a series of short stories by Ray Bradbury in motion? The man could write! His stories would've taken the silver, at least.

For my money, though, you wanna see some words in motion, there was this guy, Mike Royko, used to be a newspaper columnist. His stuff could run, sure, but it could dance, or jump around, or sneak up on you and surprise you. His columns were like energy holding still.
