| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 08/14/05 at 06:55 AM Great poem, Gavin. Reminds me about a person who has no actual identity. They kinda make it up as they go along and to suit the situation at hand. On top of that, they feel their "uniqueness" (my meaning - lack thereof) is something to be worshipped by others. Sad but true. I liked this piece. I've seen so many people in this same sad state and it irks me. |

| Posted by JD Clay on 08/19/05 at 06:51 PM This Poem Of The Day certainly seems timely to me having been fortunate enough to hear you orate this opine, as featured poet at the poetry reading in Pasadena, Monday last. I must say, it definitely strikes the mark, but it's your elocution that serves as icing on the cake.

Your words certainly are a commentary on counter culture developing not only in SoCal, but in other areas, too. You don't have to live here to understand its growth. Your poems was a big hit at the Hill reading (especially with its host)
;-) Congratulations on POTD!
