A Sonnet
Crane’s indebtedness to the discourses of modernism … includes subjects as well as styles: … for instance… his linguistic density, which is his verbal equivalent of montage or cubist effect “The Homosexual Lyric” ~ Thomas Yingling
When all you do must be ð ẛ ò ƫ ƿ Я ƫ э ð for
The sake of art’s experiments, the [UBE,
And spFke, and paintings of this and that whOre
Are de rigueur. They think you are a RUBE
If you hold painting should beautiful,
And poetry might have a rhythm, rhymes
And normal stanzas and be dutiful
To heritage’s rules. You must do crimes
Against tradition if you want to be
Respected in the galleries and print.
In music, ugliness must have its spree.

In short, everything’s required to be S
Take heed: bang all your art to jagged blur.
Use brush and notes and chisels to slosh slur.
