I must agree with Mr. Pruchnicki's desire to see this 'piece' corrected to his liking. To 'delude' is to deceive. One who happens to be 'delusional' may not accept a 'deluded' frame of mind. And, I do understand Michael's assessment and comments. However, this particular poem, Polluted with Deludedness is a poem that requires 'imagination'. One who is 'polluted' and 'deluded' would not comprehend their 'delusional' state of mind. AND, may become offended by what they perceive as incorrect word usage and content. And I thoroughly understand Mr. Pruchnicki's point of view. To each his own 'creative' depth and exploration of the English language. Confucious? Was he not Chinese?

By 'deludedness, ' you of course mean 'delusion'! What happens to the language when so-called poets ignore syntax and meaning? Ask Confucius! He would say that it leads to mass confusion!
