ANTINATURAL LITERATURE

Degenerate antinatural literature

Will still be novelistic (for the novel is both

a bureaucratic and a democratic genre), but on

An extreme abstract, or non-expressive, level -

Words freed from grammatical constraints,

And hence meanings, and reduced to

The lowest-common-denominator of

An anarchic equalitarianism, in which, devoid of

An hierarchic significance, they're approximately equal.

Such Marxist literature will signify

The nadir of novelistic degeneration,

Relative to the Extreme Left.

Prose poetry composed in a similarly anarchic fashion

May be said to reflect a Marxist-Leninist integrity

To the extent that, poetry being a theocratic genre,

A supernatural form would thereby

Seem to have been brought to bear

On an extreme anti-natural content.

Again, one may speak of a distinction,

Within Western trends, between

Left- and right-wing communist integrities,

As between the antinatural and the anti-supernatural;

A similar distinction applying, for example,

To painterly Abstract Expressionism

And to Abstract Expressionist light art -

As, for that matter, to straight homosexuality

And homosexual pornography.
