What is in "A Name"?

Awe, com'on, Vince, where's your joi de vivre ?! Let your hair down, grease it back, slap on some cool shades ( ), stick a pack of Kools in your white cotton tee shirt sleeve, stick a bud in the corner of your mouth (you don't have to really light it if we're in the 'non-smoking' section- hey we have to keep up with the times now, after all !) and click your fingers to the rythm of the poetry! Maybe read some Kerouac for deep groovin....can you dig it?

Ofilia,

hmmm... Thanks for the invitation, but I think I will sit over there in my usual corner, sipping an outstanding Pinot Noir, listening to Bach in the background, while re-reading one of my favorite pieces of literature, or one of Winston Churchill's better speeches. I'm much more of a prose person than a poet, and I have not smoked since forever, and when I did it would likely have been a pipe stuffed with a custom blend containing a healthy proportion of Latakia. I will just sit over there, thank you, and occasionally observe the passage of humanity through my Ray-Bans over the top of my book, and probably not through a swirl of fragrant smoke.
