X is for crossing out, which is hardly an influence. It is, however, a sobering activity, one that I wish, I did less of, but which my detractors probably feel I should do more of. But crossing out is not so bad. A canceled line looks a lot less precious than it did before the drastic measure was taken. One can grow to like getting rid of this or that. It is like dieting. On the other hand, lopping off an arm or leg is not a satisfactory way to lose weight. Y is for why. Why is the question we ask ourselves again and again. Why are we here and not there? Why am I me? Why not a goldfish in a fish tank in a restaurant somewhere on the outskirts of Des Moines? Z is for the zenith, the ultimate influence. It is the highest point in the sky directly overhead; it is what some hats point towards, yet what umbrellas deny; it is the eventual extreme of highest thoughts, and the divine refutations of earth and earthiness; it is the utmost point of contact with utmost otherness; it is the final resting place and celestial terminus of poems worth having. -- copy from http://www.overtherhine.com/orchard/index.php?showtopic=4266 -- 「你下流贱格，露出半个龟头。」 --
