realism v experimental fiction

methinks, literature is not a rock. beloved literature is not a painting upon a rock of a bear attack. literature is a bear attack. and when the bear departs into the haze of the seas, literature remains gasping collapsing agonizing with facial wounds. here now, the watchinggrowingthriving of thistles and flowers out the maligned corpse. friends, literature is no rock; literature is a corpse growing flowers out its mouth. literature is a corpse losing legs and arms to birds and large hearted mammals. gaining worms where once it had eyes, literature is a developing thriving beast. a thousand insects grow and rustle into the folds. here we have a creature, once stirring, now developing into the loam.
