In a small lakefront
dwelling deep in the beauty of Finland's pristine forests,
Pentti Linkola spent his days wishing for your death.
Convinced that overpopulation
presents the greatest danger to our fragile biosphere,
the radical environmentalist had long since very sensibly rejected
meretricious notions of 'compassion' and 'love' for his 'fellow' man.
But wishing is not enough.
Nothing is enough, because we are too much and too many.
There is no narrative but that which
we impose:
the destruction of Nature by Reason.

Poetry
must
be the opposite of the obvious.
They
think they have it -
but
there is no key to the terrible parade.

web-pages are scroll-down, because
scrolling down is one
of the most wonderful things about the Web -
and an experience rare in the West since late Roman times, when the
modern paged book was invented.
