That whole thing about artist / audience contirbuting equally to a
piece. There wass a whole , absurdly esoteric, Greek-Hebrew/Jewish-Freud
vs. Behaviourist thang going on here when I wrote it. More intrigued

At first I thought this was a bit experimental, a verbal equivalent
of paintings hung in the Museum of Modern Art, but looking at it more
closely it does seem to have a purposefulness and structure to it (as
do the paintings in MOMA no doubt, even if their purpose is lost on
me). This starts with the A's, winds up with the W's, yet wisdom is
wrathful and the snake bites its tail as it cycles back to
Wernicke's. There's quite a bit in this. It's quite interesting.
