Could anything be more self-sabotaging to a poetry career than writing about pit bull fanatics -- and not like Harvard Man George Plimpton goes slumming among the pit bull fanatics but from inside the heads of the pit bull fanatics themselves? Oh God, what is wrong with me!
Ever since I first read the work of the pit bull fanatics in about 1985 the pit bull fanatics' vernacular has had hold of me like the jaws of a hard-biting pit bull! I instantly morph into the identitty of a pit bull fanatic whenver I want to, or what is worse when I don't want to!
But for writers the most important thing is to fill up the pages and they will write anti-Semitism like Fyodor Dostoevsky or a 39 foot long scroll of tortures like Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade, or Emily Dickenson in her diabolical Little Bo Peep mode of "My wars are all laid up in books, I have one battle more" or Kenneth Grahame whose Mr. Toad expresses not only the unpredictablity and tenacity of fetishistic sexuality but also the tragic comedy of the artist who cannot choose his dreams but rather is chosen by them.
At the end of his life James Thurber wept that his satires had hurt many -- but it was not given to him to write Much Ado About Nothing nor could now write King Lear. But he at least wanted to write King Lear and this was taken into consideration when he stood before theHeavenly Tribunal.
Here is a little dog man poem. And below you can see a video where one of the great dog men reminisces and philosophizes.
The APBT
The dog game has been here since caveman days! Imagine two cavemen, each the owner of a dog, Betting their dinosaurs on which dog will win The world's first dog match! Also, Abe Lincoln Was the referee at dog matches and for this He became known as Honest Abe Lincoln.
Jack Dempsey owned a pit dog and if you saw Little Rascals on YouTube have you noticed How their dog named Petey was a pit dog? But the Petey dog was not an APBT because The APBT did not exist yet, the APBT had not Come into being yet at the time of Little Rascals.
Hell, at the time of Little Rascals the APBT Was only a gleam in Winchell Graff's eye! Grandpa Munster, Darlene, Field Mouse, For those dogs and others like them we have To thank Winchell Graff because he bred The first American Pit Bull Terrier game dogs!
