Hitler As Parody

Recently I had the opportunity to meet an old lady in one of my clinics. I say old but that is really a misconception because she was actually quite young in physical health and temperment. She needed some things for foreign travel to a country where she believes she can live to be four hundred years old!

I have to wonder at such things and she was seemingly non plussed when I said, "Who would want to live that long!"

I have to wonder at the fountain of youth and age sometimes. Flarf and all of this jockeying for position in a world where that seems to be the norm aka Darwinistic ideal. Survival of the fittest and of course, a youthful person is way more likely to survive a bit longer than me but all the same...death is just around the corner for us all. Even Flarfists die and the attempt to remain young through one's poetry...to literally formulate some kind of non-doctrine doctrine around that...is inevitably doomed. Or is it?

The young inherit the old and that goes for cultures as well as civilizations. Without the demise of Greece, we wouldn't have Europe or Asia or ee gads, High Baroque. Hitler himself is part of that High Baroque and can be seen gesticulating in Broadway musicals in "our time". Flarf is this type of thing. It is indicative of a need to remain perpetually fluent in the culture in which it migrates and hopes to take hold by literally not-pushing pushing someone else off of a cliff of such dangerous heights that people don't really want to go there anyway because there, one has to demonstrate some social responsibility.
