And i quote: "This brilliant combination of form and numbers succinctly reflects both the hierarchical reality of the Buzzer Beater world as well as the promise of progress through that same hierarchical reality. The poet, by dismissing the use of standard English and replacing it with numbers, calls attention to the mathematical basis of the entire enterprise. The utilization of the Roman numerals argues this collective enterprise has its roots in the Western tradition, and indeed can be seen as the culmination and greatest triumph of a rational, scientific approach to the world while simultaneously deconstructing the information provided by that approach." -- from Forum Musings in a Graffiti World, Dr. Hildegard Bingen (MIT Press, 2011)
