"I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry." — John Cage
I thought that there was a lot of meaning in the 14 words and the arrangement used in this poem. On the other hand I felt that it was so indecipherable that there was very little meaning I could derive from the actual lines of the poem. John Cage's quote is what displays the message and focus of this literature to me. The idea of experimental poetry and art is something that is very interesting and has a great possibility to be popular. I don't like how there was no punctuation in the poem, but that also leads us to examine each word as letters and sounds. In the end I only found the message to show us that possibilities in literature are fully up to the author, we as writers have the choice to do whatever we want. It doesn't really matter what you or me think, you can disagree, but the expression of the poem is connected to the author who puts a part of themselves into writing it.
