Country of Origin

By Mark Young

My Smithsonian T-shirt comes
from Mexico. The University
of Western Sydney one
is Chinese made. This poem
purports to have been
fabricated in Australia from
local materials; but that, quite
obviously, is a lie. The idea
is one I brought back with me
from New Zealand. Most of
the words are French or Latin
or Anglo-Saxon. The punctuation
comes from a little Greek village
called Komma, whose name
translates as “clause.” I stole
the pauses from the Japanese.

  1. In the awesome scheme of things you actually secure an A just for hard work. Where exactly you misplaced me personally ended up being on your details. You know, it is said, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more correct here. Having said that, permit me tell you what exactly did give good results. Your article (parts of it) is pretty powerful which is probably why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, although I can easily notice a jumps in reason you come up with, I am not certain of how you seem to unite your details that help to make the conclusion. For now I will yield to your issue but trust in the near future you actually link your facts better.

  2. We absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind creating a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome weblog!

  3. I do like the manner in which you have framed this situation and it does indeed give me personally some fodder for thought. On the other hand, coming from what precisely I have seen, I really trust as other responses stack on that men and women continue to be on point and not embark on a soap box regarding the news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this exceptional point and even though I do not agree with the idea in totality, I regard the point of view.

  4. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!
