I think I missed the point, andrew. What if the poem was written by hand by
Walt Whitman? Doesn't it matter who wants the paper anyway?

AH! The "Definite" value is lost..... is THAT the point?

"As James Sherry noted years ago in L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, a piece of paper with
nothing on it has a definite economic value. If you print a poem on it,
this value is lost. Here we have a vivid example of what George Bataille
has called general economy, an economy of loss rather than accumulation.
Poetry is a negative -- or let's just say poetic -- economy."

Charles Berstein in "How Poetry Survives" from Baffler #6
