yes (no) and no (yes)

i've gotten used to it.

for a long time it was only poetry, spilling out of me in pitiful little bursts like some four year-old's pot roast farts. now it's prose - turgid, undemocratic nonsense to be sure, but prose.

certain concepts are off-limits, certainly. you can't take a slice out of an entire culture's (one pandemic upon our planet, i'm sure we can agree) lexicogram and not destroy certain ideas.

but ideas can be reconstructed, just as you can easily prove, using basic processes you probably learned in secondary school, by solving for f''(x) of e^x using definition of a deriviative. you believe you can't but you can. go look it up, solve for y, get confused, you'll see
