Rimbaud

If it can be said that Pierrot has an idol, it would have to be Arthur Rimbaud. Alas, men of his kind have largely disappeared from our society, bred out by centuries of imprisonment, other state-sponsored infringements from newspapers to primary education and siphilis. For the uninitiated let me run through Rimbaud's accomplishments: he was a runaway, who drank too much absinthe, smoked too much hashish, fucked too many people regardless of sex, shitted openly on the ideals of the self-establishing bourgeoisie, was raped by soldiers and shot by a gay lover, had an ethiopian wife, was an army deserter a gun runner and a poet of diabolical innovation and power. That is too many 'ands' but rimbaud demands such poor editing and long-windedness. You should read his works. Perhaps then you will throw away your job at Total and cause some bloody car crashes. AIIEEEE! There are people screaming on the side of the road, how did those mangled autos crash like that they are almost stacked on top of each other burning. Anyways, as The Weekend is over, the picture of Rimbaud on the side here if by Fernand Leger I hope you do not enjoy it but pick up the Drunken Boat and draw Rimbaud yourself, if you are a man you will do it in your own blood, just from the feel of his verse.
