    This; and nobody reads anymore, and reading obvs does not include --codices-- --vellum-- --chivalrics-- --novels-- --newspapers-- --paperbacks-- --pulps-- --obscenities-- --comics-- --ebooks-- phones.

    Also, art is everywhere; anything is art if you look at it long enough. (Clever enough? Heartfelt enough? Strange enough?) Everything isn't good art, which is why professional artists are necessary people.

    Also for poetry, one thing to remember is that categories overlap; I personally think song lyrics are poetry, and novels are long-form prose poetry. (Though this is along the lines of, what War and Peace began for the number of characters, was finished by the phone directory genre.)

    (I suppose non-non-fiction hasn't produced a fictional phone book yet. Histories, travel guides, probably fake true crime too; but there're so many genres of non-fiction as of yet unfictionalized!)

    Right now I'm in a train, looking at a metal pole outside with "notie" scrawled on it in white graffiti paint. I'm trying to find the art, but keep thinking: "they really don't like Internet Explorer here."
