I find myself disliking simile more and more. What do words like and as bring to the experience? Can we not simply attach them to our canvas without a mediating event? Pollock showed us that we can: that the artist can add paint to background without any intervening carriers like brush or palate, and still get people to pay attention to it. A liquid medium, I find words more interesting when they are allowed to flow.
