Here I am having a little fun. And it's only in fun!
Rules for Submission
If there was no ambiguity
there'd be nothing to discuss.
So send us all the stuff you have,
but do not waste a word.
Send it all in quarter tones
or perhaps a paper bag
wrapped again in cellophane
and sealed up with bubble wrap
and no SASE:
Electronic submissions only.
Tell us a little story -
beginning; middle; end.
Do not let the words you use
make a little rhyme
for that we do not tolerate -
we really haveso little time
not much time never mind - keep it short
and with meaning
that no one understands.
Then we'll havea meeting a discussion
to discuss if what you sent
followed all the rules we made,
and then if itmakes sense is logical -
and if we can't agree
we'llprobably maybe decide
that there isambiguity room for discussion
and put it in our magazine,
but only if it's less than32 28 6 lines
and it has no meaning
and its meaning can't be seen
and we don't know whatyou're saying you said.
Then we'll say it's really good
and you are simply brilliant,
writing short with subtlety
with messages of love
or loss or cars or trains or life
or whatever the hell it was,
so we can sell some magazines
to those who like to read
whatcan't be understood no one could understand.
And we'll put a very strange photograph
right there on the page
so it will look bizarre or pretty
or something really deep,
that has nothing to do with anything
but it will go with what you mean
which of course isnothing well . . .
Hit Send.
