It's well and good that we should all get along in matters of civility and for the sake of society and so on and so on... But this, too, has its limits... Did you know Dis is a city in hell? It's been said—well, I might add—"that it is better to be a king in hell than a servant in heaven" Surely, I've butchered that quote, but it is my opinion that spontaneous poetry wears it's misquotes and typos well, like scars, like knots in old wood. If you would prefer to smooth such a worthy slab over, white out every misstep, erase every mistake, make generic and good and correct and bland every generic product off your assembly line... well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I say it is shit, and I respectfully disagree.
