regarding the Rainbow, and its constituents, namely Mr. Morris.

[Bled Welder]

Just a total obviousness, the Rainbow is constructed of long tangled dense
sentences that for/by which one doesn't know what the eff what is going on
or froming from.  It's poetic and profound in every sentence--it wants to
be more than what is real.

You, David, you're just the opposite.  You're frank, you're obvious, you're
simple.  You're matter-of-fact.

Fine.  It's the opposite of the Rainbow.  But you *favor* the Rainbow.
 That's where your brain becomes mildly interesting to me.
