I've posted lots of lyrics in the "What song are you listening to..." thread. I also appreciate the art of poetry, as practiced by Ms. Gorman, and have no prob giving her credit for a beautiful work.
I think my Granny would say those LZ lyrics are sort of inane, but she never smoked hashish that I know of.

PS: BTW, I can recite my below quotes from memory....  |
But the point of my using
Kashmir as an satirical example is, while art may be "personal" and "you know it when you see it"
, there is some 'art' that is universally recognized as great. Being that I attended school in downtown DC, I was able to frequent the Smithsonian Institution quite often. I fondly remember at the Hirshhorn, seeing a painting of a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood; impressive as the detail was down to the partial/faded red Weyerhaeuser stamps. The painting was so accurate that it looked like the museum nailed up a sheet as if the wall was under construction. It made you look twice, which I guess was the point (of the "art"). I thought it was amusing, but not really art; amusing, because it was stupid. Then I'd walk over to the Air and Space and go look at real art.
Anyway, I've read two of Ms. Gorman works now, and the second was as unimpressive as the first. I'll file her works in the same bucket with Andres Serrano.
Please enjoy the rest of this golden day and not mourn too much during this meaningful morn.
